Opinions on next ski

I've got a set of this years Scratch BC 182s... Next year I'll be up in Whistler and I'm gonna get a second set of skis. I'm gonna be spending alot of time in the park as well as in the pow. I'm trying to decide between these 2 options:

-Use my Scratches as my powder skis and get some narrower cheaper twins like Fujatives or Invaders for park. This way is cheaper, so I'm kinda leaning in this direction.

-Use my Scratches as park/all mountain skis and get something JP vs Juliens for big pow days.

-Tough it and just use my Scratches for everything.

Opinions?

well you have 182 scratches so the waist on those is like 88mm or sumfin. that means a skinnier park ski like the fujis (85mm) or invaders (83mm) isn't that much skinnier really. fat skis rock the park, but even fatter skis rock the BC. i'm real small (5'3" and 120 lbs) and i stopped using skinny park skis this year. i've been using elizabeths (110mm underfoot) for everything. if you're deadset on getting new skis, definitely get fatter pow skis. your BC's are kinda skinny and definitely plenty versatile for the park.




my level of radness... it just can't... be quantified.

But some fatter skis, or use your Scratches for anything. I'd save the money and use the Scratches, and buy new skis when they "die".

I think you should get maden's, your scratches will do just fine in the park. You'd be spending $300 for Invaders, and you can find Maden's for $400.
