Depends how you ski, is park really all that important to you?

What exactly do you want your skis to do? Are you aggressive? Fast? If you fire more details my answers will be a little more insightful.

'I ski fast' doesn't really cut it. 'I straight line double black mogul fields in search of pow' tells me exactly how fast you ski...

on piste i ski the scott rc for gs carving-dont go in the park at all, can 50-50 a rail switch and spin 180-thats it!
i have a pair of scratch BCs right now and they are a bit long in the tooth-bit soft too. i have started exploring off piste-mainly off the side of the piste, moguls and powder. feb was in kitzbuhel and loved the tree skiing!
ability-wise i have done my instructor course but am certainly not straight lining double blacks! carved the hannenkam no bother but was a killer on the legs!
am 194cms and weight about 110kg so want the 187cm pair but can only find the 181 cheap unfortunately

Instructor course.. level?

You should keep your Scratch BCs for the park (generally soft=good) and get a more versatile ski for everywhere else.

just level 1 BASI with a small amount of experience

the width etc of the bc would make them perfect for park use i reckon but then that leaves me with 3 pairs-need to get a bigger ski bag!

3 pairs is the magic number, what are the other pair?
