Atomic Tweak or Head Mad Trix?

[BeerGoggles]

Hey guys, Im looking for your help once again... I was hoping youd give me your opinion on which ski would better suit me the 171 or 181 mad trix or 181 tweaks. Im 6'0, 160 lbs., Im an advanced skier but a beginner in the park. Im looking for a ski that would be used for about 60% all-mountain(mostly moguls and glades) and 40% park(for now anyways). I live on the east coast and often have to deal with ice. All help gets my immediate kudos.

the heads will last and take a beating, really solid ski i would recomend it over the tweak

 

[poofartpee]

mad trix are deffinetly the better ski but might feel too stiff. but ur a big rider so u should be ok

 

[lastxlight]

Where are you mounting your skis, having that much tail on moguls can be hell

 

[BeerGoggles]

Yeah, definetely not gonna mount them at the center of the ski...I figured a bit in back anyways just to not screw around with my carving

 

[BeerGoggles]

anyone else(yes Im being a whore)

6 ft and 160lbs. doesnt sound like you are a really chargiing skier, no offense though. I'd go with the tweaks cause the madtrix's are really stiff and take some power to manhandle

get 180+ because you a big mother fucker.

The tweaks are SUPERlite. So throwing tricks will be easier compared to the Mad Trix, which are probably the heaviest twins on the market other than the Nordicas.

The Heads are super solid skis though, demoed a pair of Mojo 90's up at Schweitzer and they're STIFF and HEAVY... much more so than even my Karmas.

Don't get the 171s.

the mad trix are dope, I love mine.

181 Mad Trix, you won't regret it. It's a lot more stable ski and will handle the mountain a lot better than the Atomics will. If you want some floppy noodles, go with the tweaks.

yea i had mad trix..hes bigger than me but i had a real problem with them...they owned me so i got ar5s

 

[poofartpee]

[Coalescent]
