im small (5'5',115lbs) and im lookin to get a new pair of skis for next winter. I can get the lines and the heads for cheap so im wonderin which would be better for me. I ski mostly park with some groomers and some powder. When i ski park its mostly rails and pipe not alot of jumps.

yeah the 12's are pretty sweet for the park, soft enough to butter etc and they wont destroy you if u dont land properly off a jump like the stiff mad trix might

If you do buy the 12s, just give up on the powder... I guess if you like them soft, go for 12s, if you like them stiff, go for MTs. I own 2 pairs of MTrix myself, but i have to say, a softer, lighter ski is better for jibbing. For everything else, though, they're ideal.

Don't use skis to ski. Use piece of wood like the bear does in Cool Boarders 4. He owns.

Wow, what the hell was I thinking when I made a serious post in this thread?!? This has to be the dumbest comparison I've ever seen. Wait, let me try to make less sense. Hey, does anyone know what would be better for me, a narcoleptic bulldozer, or an irish wolfhound who thinks he's Hillary Duff?


... nope, I have failed.

yeah the 12's will rape the mad trix if it is race to break em.

JD why would you give up Powder if you go 12's. i could ski it fine with mine and the softness helps...

^Maybe it's just me, but I don't tend to take the skis I totally fuck over on rails and go off to ski powder. If you're going to buy jib skis like those, you'd better have another pair for other things.
