I'm looking at getting either 07 TM's or 07 STL's... comparisons, recommendations? I do mostly all mountain stuff, but a decent amount of park too (jumps, not rails).
TM vs STL

get the tm's then, the stls are def softer which would be really fun for rails (buttery=super fun in my experience) but i washed out a lot on jumps with mine cause they were too soft. so if you do jumps and not rails and value ur all mtn performance id def go with tms of those two. neither ski has a great reputation for structural durability but if you arent a rail person that wont come into play. enjoy

the stl's are getting stiffer every year and tm's durability is getting better sooo its really what you want.. both are park skis both are butterable but i believe the TM is better all-mtn but dont quote me on that

I totally agree. I normally ski 180+ but I've demoed 177 STLs and 175 TMs. The STLs are really fun and butterable, but on slightly backseat landings there's not enough to the tails. TMs are nice and snappy, good all round skis. And the edge reinforcement has addressed some of the durability issues.

The TMs would be bettter the STL is still much too soft to be used as an allmountin ski in my opinion

thanks for the advice. i think i'm gonna get the tm's. they're cheaper, anyway.
