Well, since i am sponsored by rossi, and i think pocket-rocket is sponsored by salomon, then i must say go for the scratch bc. Pocket rocket is sweet, but if your a more aggressive skier, then go for the stiffer ski, aka, the scratch bc.

HaHa! No Competition. You will be much happier with the stiffer ski. Slant sidewalls, THC Core, better ski all around.

Skied both, liked both. i think pockets are a bit better if you wanna vebture into the gromed parks a bit, but if ur a true backcountry jibber, scratch ur itch .

Ok personal opinion......
The Salomon Pocket Rocket, can be like a wet noodle, you say your only 155 but aggressive, you might over flex the ski. It is wider and lighter.
The ScratcH Bc, def stiffer, but weighs more.
They are both really good skis, If I was you I might go Rocket. Just because I like a lighter weight ski for hiking with. The reason I would go with the ScratcH is for better stiffness.
I hope this helps you a litle bit..

Pocket rockets and scratch bc's are the exact same width, and the pocket rocket weighs like 2030 grahms, while the scratch bc is only 2070.

the pocket rockets are the better ski hands down, they are a lot lighter then you think, and the flex isn't that bad at all

You know you should just buy both, then you can't complain about anything, because between the 2 of them u would have a perfect ski.
