Hey, i've read on here that a lot of people find the ski to be very light, but i have a slightly more specific question. How light is it compared to skis intended for PARK use. I am taking a few trips soon, but this ski will mostly be used for good ol' wisconsin park and all mtn, mostly park. Any other comments on the ski in the park would be helpful as well. im just looking for something a little fatter than my current mik d's, and i like what i hear about this ski.

Sorry for the long post... Thanks in advance for the help guys

Heavier than a park ski - but remembering that it isn't designed to be used in the park, nor are park skis designed to be used in the BC

It's definitely one of the lightest among it's competitors (Seth etc) though

Yeah, i was just curious because its supposed to be such a good all-around  ski (including a little in the park), and people just rave about the low weight. I've just got some extra money and i kind of want something a little wider in the waist. Any other suggestions for something between like 90-100mm? besides the line anthems, i cant handle those wolf/buffalo graphics haha.

Brigade is a great choice man!

It is definitely light, (as far as wider skis go)

I demoed all the Rossi gear last year and compared to the Ghetto's, the Brigades were a seriously fun ski, and werent that much heavier at all.. They are quite soft, so not the best if you are super tall or heavy, and not a charging ski, but great all mountain and for a bit of park for sure.

well i kinda want something softer than average, for more of a fun do-it-all ski and just to mess around on. brigades are the same ski as the 07 bc aren't they? i dont know this for sure.
