Ok, I'm debating something around 170cm (i'm 5'7, 115 pounds). the 171 1080, 170 (or whatever) head mad trix, or mike nick line (171). which one of these, or other groomed/park skis would you recomend? thanks

These things make me mad.

i just bought the 176 skogen (this year's model) and they're the shit. i bought them and they'd been demoed 1 time and they were 250 US. theyve got a sweet twin too.

I ride 1080s and they are pretty sweet. Haven't heard too much about the Lines though...

You listed three pretty shitty skis the only one any good is the mike nick.

I would go 16 pe, 175 tm, or 174 scratch.

if you think that you are gonna grow during the summer you might wanna think about getting somethng that will be perfect size for next season, you might consider getting the PE or AR5
