Ok guys, I liked all the comments on the 50/50 park all mountain post but now I have it down to either the Atomic Tweak or some Salomon 1080s. Now out of the two what ones? Advantages and disadvantages of both skis? Thanks

i wouldnt go with either but thats just me. 4frnt msps, ar5s are sick in the park and work fine everywhere else probably except for deep pow

1080's have a foam core...get the tweaks
Estctst101 got the last one . Here is a new riddle:

Yes, my roommate has the Tweaks and they are a very solid skis. Great construction, great turning ski. Only negative I think the tweak has is not a lot of pop, honestly. But, I would buy one pair of Tweaks over two pairs of 1080s anyday

but line or chronics. tweaks are more like a racing ski if u looka t the sidecut. 1080 are closer ot a true twin

personally, i'd go with the tweaks if you're more of an all-mtn skier. i've found that the 1080's were a bit soft (they were used BTW) for turning in hardpack ontario conditions. the tweaks can handle it all.

go with the tweaks

out of those 2 i saw tweaks, but if youre looking for 5/50 park/all mountain i strongly suggest public enemy's or troublemakers or even scratches

I'd say 4frnt MSP or Armada AR5s as well. Both the skis u've chosen are decent, but nothing better than any other ski. Also they are expensive and are from companies that dont care about freeskiing as much as the others.
