of course you are going to get different answers from everybody. there isn't one 'best' ski. its just whatever you like. i personally wouldn't get the scratch unless you are only doing park, but thats just my opinion.

I'm going to get shit for posting this, but the Line 1260 is a midfat ski (waist of 76) is very light, and is a great park ski. The people I know who have it say the downside is that it doesn't perform as well at high speeds. And if you hate Line's binding, just mount it with something else.

alright, i'm gonna have to sya get the salomon 1080 silvers, or the mavericks, i know someone who's got them and they love em, i have scratch fs and they're nice, if you want a quicker turning ski get the 1080's (16m radius)

RES!

1260's are decent all mountain. A little shaky at high speeds but if youre a decent skier its no big deal. They rule in the park too. Theyre light.

You're never going to get a definitive answer on here... just take our advice into account and then base your decision on which ski YOU like the most.

1080...spaceframe is light...the silvers are damn small though...161's right? i guess it just depends what your focus is, you might wanna go 171 if you're a stronger skier adn dont spend ALOT of time in the park...just depends on whayt you want the skis for...it's really hard to just have ONE pair of skis that will go everywhere and perform perfectly...but, i guess alot of it's the rider not the skis so i dunno...i'd go with 1080's though

heh mavericks, funny skis, i dont like them at all i won a pair and i skied them twice i hate them. I think you could maybe ski some concepts cause concepts are the shit and there is nothing better than concepts in my opinion
