yo man prob 90 percent of all the people here are gonna tell ya to go with the pocket rockets... so yea go with them... salomon has more experience with powder sheit where as this is line's first year making a true powder ski.

and the lines are wider, so if your gonna use them for all around too, the pockets are better

Although i luv line, i don't think that the mothership is that great for an all mountain ski, so i'm going to have ta say........pockets

But don't get me wrong, lines are amazing, i just think mothership isn't a great all mountain ski, it's just meant for powder dayz

Ive heard that lines quality is up this year but they will still probably break if you ski some heavy snow. go with the better quality pocket rockets. youll pay extra but you wont regret it if you take a trip to mammoth after a huge dump of sierra cement.

I'm also a big fan of line, but like everyone before me has said, I'd say go for the pocket rockets.

Salomon over Line any day of the week. Just remember, Pocket Rockets are not designed for the ice coast. I am so sick of fuckin people on those skis in the East Coast.

Go for Salomon for now. While Line is still making their skis in a X-country ski factory, I wouldn't buy them unless they were cheap.

The bicycle has got to be one of the most clever and cunning devices that we humans have ever invented. The wheel would be a close second, but we didn't so much invent the wheel as just find it, and besides, the wheel never really amounted to anything until people started putting it on bicycles.

yeah, POCKET ROCKETS all the way. they're kind of soft, but still a reasonably hard ride. nice turning ability....GET 185!!! don't go lower, unless you're like 4'6'. im 5'10' and i have 185...super sweet ride. anyway, tear it up. later
