this doesnt help u decide but i'm also getting the el reys, and since it would be wierd if we both had the same skis and then we saw each other, i wouldnt get the el reys
get the 4frnt msp for sure. epsecially if you want a stiffer ski. the only thing that the msp lacks is it doesnt have that much pop, but enought to do park. get dat fo sho. especially cuz of the college program
i just posted a thread for 4frnt MSP's and they probly what you are looking for they are 180s and i would seel them for 400 and they have been used only in powder a few times
sounds crazy but you might want to look at the elizabeth from line. its 110 under foot but its acutally pollard's park ski. if you sont like that then id try the 4frnt MSP or Armada AR6
I suggest the line chronic or blend. I have the chronic wides from 06 and I love them so much. They rip everywhere pretty much, except for the thick PNW powder which I got nordica enforcers for.
