OK, so im gonna buy my first pair of park skis today. I will be doing about 60% park and 40% groomed/light pow. So I would like to get some feedback on particular skis to get.
Here are some suggestions that I had in mind.

-Scratch Sprayer FS 2007
-Scratch FS 2006
-Armada AR5
-K2 Fujative
-Line Invaders

I really need help guys cause I would like a park ski that can handle everything.
Thanks a lot.

If you are a bigger guy, the scratches might be the best bet of that list. The AR6 would also be a good option as it is better than the Ar5 once you get out of the park.

These Troublemakers Might suit you...They come with bindings too.

dont get the PX binding or anything similar too it. it ruins the tail flex of the ski. its a fine binding for all mountain system skis, but on flat decks it sucks. if they have a pair of pviots, ANY KIND, buy those. if its on risers mount it without. if they have fks 120s, buy those. best binding you can get without going to full racestock. sal Z12s wouldnt be too bad, as you prolly wont be really slaying too hard yet with your first pair of twins. if they dont have any of that, there are lots of new old stock look/rossi pivot bindings on ebay right now, please, for your sake go snag them. your shop peeps will understand unless they are fags, cause everyone i know who knows shit is not a fan of alot of the new bindings on the market. more and more they are being designed for system skis, and just tossed onto flat decks. its gay.

Okay, I am now limiting myself to the Scratch Series because of budget problems. What I would like to know is if the WRS system on the 2007 FS's is really worth the extra money. Cause or else, I will simply buy the 06 FS's. And does anyone now how much I could get them for? (preferably in CAD)
