I'm going to buy some new skis soon and I wanted to know what would you guys recommend. I ski about 85% park and the rest is groomers, trees, ice (east coast) and moguls. I already have some vague ideas on what I want, so what would you suggest between these skis.
All 06/07
-Scratch FS
-Troublemakers
-Addicts
And by the way I'm about 6'2 and 160lbs

i loved both my scratches and trouble makers. i havent skied on the addicts but you would be safe with either the scratch or trouble maker.

prob the best would be tms, maybe scratches if u do mow all-mnt, but for 85% park, tms in their longest length

I agree
TM's and scratchs are good, but TM's for your use

scratches are deff stiffer than the tm's if that influences your decision at all but the scratchs will deff hold up to anything you will throw at em

get the scratches they can handle anywear and you'll probablly like them more in the park than the troubble makers

Have you considered something outside those brands? Like LINE, Armada, 9thward, Scott, 4frnt, even K2?

well I went to my local ski shop and I can get the TM's for 500$ or the Scratch for 600$, but I prefer the width on the Scratch...so is the extra 100$ necessary or should i go Tm's? (by the way it's all in canadian money)
