id go with the pimps, i just got a pair, havent had a chance to use them yet, but if ur planning on being in the park and back country id highly suggest the pimps. the urban punx and far too narrow for deep snow and the thugs are sweet for pow and back country booters but if ur looking for an all round ski go for the pimps

I loved the urban punx as a park ski. But if you're gonna be 50/50 park and pow then I'd go with the pimps

thug for the win... sure they are 120 underfoot but they are sot and playful as hell... you can still ride them in park, although they may be a little silly on rails...

From what I remember about the pimps they are really light and a lot like the scratch BC wrs in most ways.

I'd say that's the way to go.

The pimps are amazing in general. But the perfect choice for you because you want backcountry and park.

pimps. such a sick ski. i may pick up a pair for all mountain next year. the urban punx are too skinny for all around, and the thugs are too wide for park, but they are playful, sorta like bacon's i have heard but more pow oriented. those 3 skis are like the sickest quiver you could possibly have though. i would love to have a pair of thugs, but we dont get no pow in CT
