Replying to Scratch FS vs PE

Rick_Husted:
thse skis are very similar. both from 'traditional' ski companies. they both have very similar waist sizes, and good reputations. Im looking at the 180 and the 179 respectively and Im not sure what one is better for me. I live in the middle of no where so I cant demo. Help me out here guys.

im 5'10 about 185 and Im a really good all around skiier.I like big jumps, but im not real into rails that much. I live in the UP in michigan, and we get a ton of snow. The park is great here, but im still not great at spinning and stuff, so weight isnt an issue. I like someting thats stable at high speeds too.

Im riding msps right now and I dont like them all that much, they arent long enough, and they are too wide for the conditions 95% of the time.
