alright so a a week ago u went out and got my sticks for this season,(07 rossi scratch fs pro) size 158. i tried to look for a ski in my size and budget that wuld fit all my needs. wen im in NY i ride 70 percent park and 30 al mountain, but wen im out of NY i ride 70 percent big/all mountain and 30 percent park. i found out im gonna be going to big sky, and mayb even whistler and ik that scratch pros will not hold up well in pow. i also recently ran into some $$(650 to be exact) and so i have to decide on what pow ski to get this year or wait for next year. im a fairly aggresive all/big mountain skier. blacks, occasionally a double black. bowls, drops, trees, pow, culoirs, pretty much evrything im 14 and 5'5, i was looking at
last years vicous in 169
this years foil, in 166
and mayb the 07 karma in 169
if you guys have any more suggestions or advice id appreciate it

Scratch BC, great allround and can still kill the park.

for the record this kid barely skis double blacks so i don't think seth vicious and scratch bc are worth it to him. the foil would work well cause it's wide and light. don't listen to everyone when they say that you need a 100 waist for a trip out to big sky when you say that you don't even ski double blacks much anyway

My old 169 vicous would be perfect for you, you do not have to be to good to use them but they can work even if you charge on them, mine are in good condition with only a few top sheat chips and no edge damage
or core shots. primarely used for powder. mounted at +5 with scratch
120s but could come with s910's (WB) instead. right now looking for
$450 with 120's and $400 with s910's. and $350 with out bindings.

Sorry, i didnt see the 3 options, (i kinda saw it but thought it was your sig.) of those three, if you are looking forward to pow go with the vicious. But my buddy has the karmas and rips them everywhere too.

I dunno what lenghths it comes in the smaller sizes but the scratch BC is a great ski. That or the vicious probably. Although you said you ski agressivly but only occasional double blacks so that's kinda contradicting. I dunno maybee somthign a little smaller tough to say
All times are Eastern (-5)
