Ski question

I know questions of this sort have been asked a million times so I'm sorry to be the 1,000,001th person to ask this.

I want a good all-round ski. I ski 60 percent big mountain, 20 percent trees and 20 percent park.
Basically, I'm looking for something with a decent sidecut for trees, something thats big enough and stable enough for steep powder skiing and something that's still fun in the park.

I'm debating between the Mad Trix, the Seth Pistol, the PE's and the Mothership.

Thanks for your help in advance.



Haha, that Brit just stacked it... and landed on that other Brit!

I know it's a bit early this year, but every year somebody starts a thread about their goals for the season (that have to do with skiing, not fucking a cheerleader) and you know the rest.

4FRNT MSP or Volkl Karma. Both have an 87 (well, the MSP 170 does, the MSP 180 has a 92) waist I believe, which would be a good size for skiing what you do. Seth Pistols (95 waist) would be fine as well, just depends on whether you want more sidecut or not, and if you like big boards in the park. The Karma has the most sidecut out of the Seth Pistols and MSP, so that would help you in the trees.

Check them out once your local shop gets them, and decide from seeing them and flexing them in person.

I weigh 150... somebody was saying they are stiff... am I too light for them? I'm a pretty aggressive skier as well...

pistols.....although this year they are a stiffer ski than last seasons so they will more of a big mountain ski and will be less of a park ski.
