beginner park ski???? scratches are bombproof dude, they have stiff flex so the ski is directed toward being an all mountain twin. they kill it in the park too and never chatter. being 140 pounds, they wont be too stiff but would be great as an all moutain twin, unless you do more pow than park in which the stl would prolly be better cuz its a fatter ski, but i wouldnt call the scratchs a beginner park ski
