Hey, my msps got stolen and I was wondering if anyone has these skis or has ridden them? I was wondering a few things. first of all does the fat edge and base really hold up and do these skis take abuse? Also, are they heavy? would they be good park skis? It seems like they would be nice and stable in the park and I was wondering if this s accurate. I would be skiing them mainly in the park. ANy thoughts?

if you are skiing mainly park, don't get the ti's. i had some and sold them. i thought they were sluggish in the park. don't get me wrong, they are a sick bc/pow ski, but too stiff and not agile enough for the park. the mothership flight or the 05/06 mothership is the way to go if you want a fatter, stable park ski

for sure go with the flite if your looking for more of a park ski, the ti is too stiff for park as far as i am concerned but i love my flites for park an woods an everything for that matter they have held up great and you can try to beat on them but because of the extruded base its quite difficult to mess them up. An i have had no problems with the edges they are solid.

extruded = softer, easier to fix
sintered = harder, faster, harder to fix

I love my Ti's for ridding everywhere, but park. they take a beating, my edges have held up from a couple of rock shots with no dents or anything, but the extruded base blow ass and i have had to ptex them once already, they are easy to fix tho. I love how they ride in the crud they blow through it all with ease and the stiffness keeps them nice and stable at high speed. and of course they float nice in the power. but its all about how stiff they are it just makes the ride so fun a real stable all mt workhorse.

My Ti's are great for park, and I demoed Flites before I bought the Ti's for a week. I would choose the titaniums anyday

By the way my Ti's are for sale. Skied 8 days with Salomon s914s in yellow to match the LINE logo and the bikini:) They are the burliest big mountain ski ever besides the Prophets which are like $900 so buy mine instead for $400 with bindings!
