Rossignol scratch fs or head mad_trix? I ski about 70 % park and pipe, 30 % big mountain. I'm 5'10' tall and 150 lbs weight.

Thats a very tuff choice. Ther're both such sick skis.They both have nice flex and construction. In the end, It all comes down to which graphics go better with your outfit. No matter what you pick it has to be your choice. Never let awesome graphics take you. Pick which one will ride best for you.

I am the exact same size. I have ridden both and I ended up buying the scratch fs 174. They do awesome outside of the park. Def get the scratch.

The fact that Johnny Mosely and John Olsson use the Madtrix in the park, in the BC, and on the rest of the mountain - for big air and slopestyle, should be some indication of the versatility of the Madtrix ski. Also, dimensionally, it is similar to the Line Dragon and the Bandit XX, both of which are go anywhere, do anything skis.

Ski: You can buy the Madtrix with or without the binding system

First of all, I have to agree that you should try to demo both skis.

You don't have to take my opinion, however, your only 150 lbs, so the you might find the scratchs a little more comfortable because they aren't as stiff as the mad trix.

i skied the madtrix this past summer, and they did alright, but if i were you i'd get something like the Pocket Rocket or the Scratch BC...you'll LOVE that ski when you are in the backcountry, and the skis still perform in the park. with a wider base, you'll be alot more stable than you would otherwise, and those skis tend to perform a little better on all mountain than something smaller. just my opinion though, but like everyone else is saying...DEMO before you buy any ski!
