So here's the background. I have a pair of those blue Scratches (168cm) with Marker bindings that have a decent amount of plate under them for control. I do a lot of all mountain stuff and a lot of park stuff too. The edges on the Scratches are starting to get pretty rounded off under the boot from rails, and it pisses me off when I can't turn properly on the ice and stuff on the East Coast when I'm trying to race my buddies down some of the steeper slopes. So basically I want a setup of 2 pairs so I can switch between park skis and a pair that I can keep the edges nice and sharp on.

What I'm thinking right now is find a pair of twins that will handle the rest of the mountain nicely, something longer too, put the Markers on those, and try to find a jib binding to put on the Scratches, but put em more center mount this time instead of the line. I saw some MadTrix for $200 in 180 so those would be what I'm thinkin about at the moment.

Advice?

Have you ever seen a little kid slide back down the inrun of a kicker without going over? This is why parents shouldn't dump their kids off anywhere near the park...
 
thats a lot of pairs...but really what type of ski are u looking for.

Basically I'm looking for the best solution for going from my 168 Scratches only, to having a pair of jib skis and a pair of all mountain skis.

the new line assasins or old maverics are a more all mountain ski with a twin tip on it. Im not sure if that is what you were looking for?

there are a pair of PEs online right now for like $200 with bindings. Of course there is a reserve, btu that is a deal if you get them for anywhere under $325 or so

I dream of winter.
 
Thanks for the suggestions. So many skis are so the same in the allaround category, so I'm just gonna find a good deal when i get to it and go from there whether its what I want or not. On a simillar note, if I'm going to be going with the Scratches as jib skis, where is center mount from the factory line? Right now they are mounted on the line because I have been using them as an allaround ski.
