ok, i'm working on what skis to ride this season, luckily I am getting a new pair. I live in Montana and ride at Bridger Bowl, Big Sky and Jackson. So I ski a lot of snow, but I'm not sure whether to get the pistols or BC's. Any input..?

if your gonna be riding park quite a bit, go with the bc's. the pistols are pretty soft, plus abit wider underfoot. but from the sounds of it, dont think you have any reason to be riding park at those places. so i say, get the pistols

the pistols are are a great ski, but they're a bit too wide for all conditions skis. If you're riding bridger, you'll be riding more than chest deep powder, you're gonna have chop, bumps, steeps and chutes. I'd go with the BCs personally. I ride the FS right now I think width wise its great for all the conditions I encounter. The tips are a little lower than I'd like for powder skiing, but if you ski them properly, they're just fine for the super deep. I have a friend who has the pistols, he isn't a top notch skier and has some big time troubles controlling them in most conditions that aren't open powder.

If you want one for both conditions and have a choice try the Karma,sick all mountain ski and good for park.

Pistols.
But the 179 Mad'n Ak might be beter.
If I were in your shoes I would get 179 Madens or 187 MSP's.
