Looking for an opinion on skis.

Hello, I'm looking at buying a new pair of skis this season.
I ski a lot of trees, some crud, a little park here and there but I have a pair of older Scratch FS's, which will become my jib skates.

Currently I'm looking at the Scratch BC. Seems like a super solid ski, always does well in the tests, lighter than ever; basically seems like it will rip.

Are there any other skis that you guys would recommend for my purpose, I'm kind of also looking at the Dynastar Big Troubles and the Volkl Mantras.

Thanks

get the 185 scratch bc. it's a dope ski. big troubles are kinda bogus. and the mantra's have way too much shape, i think. scratch bc will be good. also, maybe check out the k2 seth. it's my personal favorite all around ski.

Yeah the big troubles I like never see kids riding them but they're pretty close dimension wise to what I'm looking for. Both those two were kind of afterthoughts. I'll take a look at the seths thought, thanks.
