Where do you go to ski 'big mountain'?

Cause, if you ski 60% park, I'd suggest getting the FS... but if you do ski powder at a different resort or something then getting the BC might be worth while.

the BCs are sweet in the park. A lot of the pro riders still used their BCs over the FS, you would be fine

^^That would be a question for J.D. May. I believe he has or has used both of them (the Scratch Fs and the Mad_Trix). I've picked up the 05 Fs's, but I haven't held the Mad_trix yet, so I cannot say.

I will be riding all over the east coast this season, and scrach bc'ing it all the time. 90 under foot is really not that big now a days anyway. 6 foot 160 you should ride the 182 bc or the 180 fs. Im 6'3'' and 175#'s and ride the 188 bc.

Let's see, weight difference between Scratch FS and Madtrix. Well, the FS weight 1.709kg per ski. Meanwhile, the Mad Trix weigh as much as a wet elephant holding a bad of bricks. So yeah, the FS are just a BIT lighter. By the way, I would have suggested 182 BCs, but it's your call. BCs aren't much heavier than FS (2.07kg at a longer length).

Don't remember. I looked it up when I was looking for Scratches, and it stuck in my head. There was a site with a lot of info like that on major ski brands' lines.
