I just back from a demo night trying all this years skis, and I have to say, the T-M is a charm riding it regular or switch. The new scratch is very stiff for a park ski (I don't enjoy that very much) and so carving switch won't be as easy going. History tells us that the edges for the TM's won't hold up, let alone that the scratch is probably one of the more solide skis on the market right now. Here's my advice. If you the kind of guy that skis the whole mountain and like a fun ski, lots of pop, that likes big-air and pipe more then rails, and that loves riding switch, go with the TM. If you're the kinda guy that will do prettu much anything, but loves rails, ledges and urban, def go with the Scratch. It's not cauz it's more fun, it's just that it won't break as easy.
