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

I know they aren't the exact same construction, but I really liked my 179 pistols all-mountain.

The Vicious seems like your best option, to me. If I were you I might also check out the scratch BC in a 172, the Ninthward First Blood in a 170, Or the Line Prophet 100 in a 172 or Prophet 90 in a 167 or 172.

You ski in NY? Big mountain? I would go with something around 90ish waist it will be a great ski no matter where you are.
