Titanium if you have the extra money. But I'm not sure why you would want the 7.3's, but if that's really what you want go for it. I'd grab a pair of true all-mountain skis designed for specifically that, and then use your scratches in park.

the line fx are a really good ski in that they are really fast, have a nice sidecut, and hold a good edge. but dont look to use them in the park.

if you have park skis why do you want a carving twin? get a pair of atmoic supercross skis, to fucking rip up the gates and the gnar.

It's hard to tell exactly what you want. for racing skiercross you want a race ski. don't even bother with the skiercross crap the ski companies try to sell, use a race-stock GS ski and you'll kick ass. For park, just use your twintips, you need the twin for taking off and landing switch and you don't want to fuck your edges up on your skiercross skis. Skiercross is pretty much the same as racing, twintips will suck if you're serious about it, but race skis will suck even more for park stuff. hope that helps.

^thats a good idea. if you have been racing the twins would be way to soft for you.
