how soft or stiff do you want it?

the first thing i would do is bump all your sizes to atleast 180's with your size, 185 is prolly the best. But maybe you like short skis, or live on the east like me. You could be happy with any of those, it depends what type of ski your looking for ie flex, mounting, dimensions, etc.

well im not really sure what im interested in thats why i was asking.. like if you have any of these or know people who do that have said stuff on them..
but i think im looking for something fairly playful, hense the faily short size (trees remember) and dont get me wrong, i love big skis, but i already have some.

thanks

your best bet is a search for some reviews then, there are definately some decent ones on here. I dont have any of those, but I know that if your considering the pimp your much better off paying for next years.

seth's are pretty fun everywhere, especially in the park
pimps and scratch bc's are pretty similar

get the seths man.
my cousin got some when we went to breck this year and i skied them. they are seriously a sick all mountain ski too, they can make such aggressive turns and were really light and manueverable too.
that would be my pick by far..

4frnt msp's are off the charts. probably my favorite ski for all mountain. also, if you're looking at the scratch bc, get the 185. i'm 5'11 and i wouldn't thing of going any smaller. either one of those skis abolutely kills it. the 4frnt is really stiff and the rossi is a bit softer, so keep that in mind.
