how do the scratch BC's handle the park, i want a fatter ski so i can hit more of the back country stuff, but i also love doing the park. im looking for a ski that is good in both of those places.


what now.... ?

depending on what size scratch bc you own/buy, you might get a waist that's as narrow as 86 mm(176), because Rossi has different sidecuts on different size skis, to keep turn radius constant. That being said, 86-90 mm at the waist is not that fat. Tip and tail will be considerable fatter than a 'park-only' ski, but that's ok. You'll probably have to get used to it a little, and pipe riding might take some more practice(fatter ski=slower edge to edge, unless you stick some risers on them>STUPID) but you'll get it. Rails might be a little easier, but remember this: 99% rider, 1% skis, or thereabouts.

the foam core though, that is a total turn off for me, sounds like they will only last about 3-4 months depening on how you ride them. im going to demo some this season so we'll see

The BCs aren't even really a powder ski, the Gotamas are a true pow ski, with a waist of 105 I think. I was considering getting the BCs for park and freeriding, but I got a better deal on some TMs.

flatspinner, obviously you never skied the blizzard twin tips. wow those things are a joke. about as stiff as a race stock slalom ski, as slow edge to edge as the fattest ski out there, they are super heavy, and the tail it pointed...
