Which one is better. I like to do lost of trees, but most of all am looking for a 50/50 park all mountain ski. Pow is always a plus but i don't do much of it. I weigh aroung 130-140 pounds am probable advanced or an amateur expert. I'm still learning the park but plan to progress a lot this season. What are your thoughts?

Well, I would have to throw in a vote for the Alpha 1s. The ones I have are extremely versatile and they do quite well in trees.

go with the alpha 1s. if you are planning on getting Rockwells don't expect them to last in the park. Amplids park skis break easy so their all mountain skis are sure to break too

there have only been a few problems with amplid. yes in the past there have been some damage to the cores. Over the past couple years their durability has increased. The rockwells have a similar shape to that of the alpha. the rockwell is more versatile since it is wide underfoot at 96mm with the alpha at 83mm (182 cm length). the rockwell can handle the park and yet float super well
All times are Eastern (-5)
