I have 2009 punx and they're the shit in the park but aren't the best all-mountain. They're ALL RIGHT but not exactly what I would call comfortably versatile. I don't have any experience with scratches, but I've heard they're super durable and great on jumps. The chronics are dope if you're the Park skier that loves all-mountain as well. They rip all over the mountain. Recoils are stiff, durable, wide, but are great in the park as well. Do some more research on scratches but you basically can't go wrong with any of these. AR7s are dope for everything too

As much as i love my Punx, I think you should go with Recoil's if you wanna go in the trees from time to time.

Agreed the Recoils would be good for that but the chronics are for that kind of stuff too so you can go either way

i love fast carves on my punx. i think theyre alot better than my domains on piste. so much more responsive with them being lighter and having camber. cant talk about the other skis. but id go for punx anytime again.

Punx carve so nice and can really hold an edge, there super poppy which is great and since there so light it makes EVERYTHING easier, trust me.

Yes, we know Punx rocks on piste, but they really suck out in the forest, or in some light pow
