well, the trouble makeer LOOKS cool this year, and is pretty durable, ok in park, but it doesnt have much of a tail, so skiing on anything more that groomed would be a pain.
STL-no clue

TM's this year should be more durable then last years according to one of their rep's, especially for rails. No idea how they compare to STL's though.
Got my hands om some old TM's (the dark green ones with the black face on it) and also skied some PE's at the park, mind you I'm not much of a park skier, and would prefer the TM's if that might help.

basic charicteristics
Troublemaker:
Fairly Stiff, Kills it in the park, Very Durable.
decent for all mountain with the exception of performance in powder.
STL:
Very Soft this year, Not an all mountain ski. Specificly park, Durablity has been an issue in recent years but now that 4frnt has a new comapny producing there skis. (elan) They should have that problem worked out.

ok, thanks a lot i didnt know the trouble makers where that stiff.. I also hear a lot of talk about the ar6, how do the two compare in the park? and weight? The stl is one of the lightest skis on the market correct? i really like that a lot.
thanks a lot for the help guys

haha have you even ridden them? they have more than enough of a tail for anything you're gonna do on a ski that narrow.

I don't think they're that stiff... but definitely enough backbone to ski well all-mountain.

STL is way more durable than trble. STL can go anywhere on the mtn but also a great park ski and won't float in pow like other all mtn skis.
Go STL super durable
