trouble makers are great skis. stable, poppy, but still a good flex for butters and such. next years are wider too if you want to wait or know a rep/work at a shop.

yep, that's it. i guess switch 10s aren't good enough for you. it was from the 270s onto rails that they broke.

i've skied both and i like the troublemakers better, they're a bit stiffer. It may be a little unfiar that i like the TM's better, i was riding 169 scratchs against 175 tms.

a good option you might think about is the sprayer BC.

Well if you want to be doing powder at all i would say go with something like the BC sprayers or the Big troubles, the BC sprayers are just good skis nothing special but not bad. the big trouble on the other hand is amazing, good for park and still wide enough for powder.
