made'ns are sick for park. they turn on a dime on groomers. whoever said they are burly skis for linebacker types obviously hasn't skied them. they're super soft and very user friendly. if you like a softer ski, you'll love these for everything: pow, park, groomers, etc... if you like a stiffer ski, go with something like the MSP of the seth vicious. i really like the MSP. super solid feel.
