i have assassin mtx pro's....the stiffest ones....and i dont mind them in the park. my only problem is that the bases and edges are thin. more of an all-mountain ski, but i take mine into the park. i dont hit rails that much, though.

yep what he said ^ and the tail on the pro's are the same as the MTX's and the regular assassins...and these are called directional twin tips...and the ones with the bigger tip in the back are called true twins i think
