Im getting a new set of boards for next season on closeout and Ive narrowed it down to these two, both are the 06/07 skis. Im gonna be using them for mostly all mountain with a bit of park and maybe a tiny bit of powder. So about 65% all mountain, 30% park and 5% powder. Im planning on mounting them -2 from center and I think I should get the 181 length b/c im 6'0 155 lbs. Ill also be mounting them with px12's if it matters. I have 4frnt stls right now and like them, but they delammed early in the season so Im kinda wary of 4frnt right now, both are the same price so that doesn't matter. Give me your opinion on which one I should get please! Thanks

dude they aren't even similar skis whatsoever. You are comparing a park ski in the watchlife to the msp which is designed as an all-mountain ski. The only similarities either of these skis have is that they both will probably have no topsheet by the end of the season.

I got the impression that the watch life's functioned very well as an all mountain ski and also as a park ski. Please correct me if Im wrong.

once again.. you couldnt be anymore wrong.. the watch life is far from an all park ski.. i beleive that it is 83 mm underfoot and is one of the best all mountain skis there is, and i have no idea what you are talking about saying that the watch life isnt durable, i've talked to a ton of kids who skied them extremely hard this year and not one of them has had any problems.. and next year the ski is supposed to be even more durable

Honestly, I would get the MSP just because I have heard good things and the graphics are sick. Thats about it for my 2 cents...

They are both great skis no doubt but obviously the watchlife is gonna be much more snappy and manuverable in the park, and the MSP is probably gonna be more stable. They will both rock all mountain no doubt but one is gonna excel more out of the park and one is gonna be more park specific. All I was commenting on durability wise was topsheets its not like it's going to affect how the ski rides. Surface themselves regarded the topsheet as being a problem area. Supposedly there will be no more topsheet issues next year which is cool. As a park/all mountain ski I think the watchlife would be sick, it worries me how few MSPs I have actually seen on the mt considering how long it has been on the market.
