THESE ARE NOT THE SAME AS THE SPRAYER!!! The sprayer was a cheaper version of the Scratch FS, and had an inferior core. The Scratch FS is wider and stiffer than the Sprayer. If you are a more aggressive skier, stay away from the Sprayers and go with the Scratch. It's a better ski. With that said, they don't make the Sprayer anymore.

Going to dissagree my buddy has the Scratch FS WRS 2007 and I rode it it was heavier than my scratch ghettos that are the same as these but the 2007 model is heavier because i have the Axial 2 140 binding and my bud with the axial 2 120 same binding and his bindings are lighter. But in some way the ski the 2007 model is still heavier. Good Ski bit more weight.

If you are talking about the 2007 Rossignol Scratch FS WRS then yes. It's the same ski no changes have been made.

Scott,

You can use any binding on this ski (I use Salomons) - just like any previous Scratch FS. This guy is giving inaccurate info - doesn't have a clue. These are not "system" binding skis. They just lay out three different mounting points for you (just like the Ghetto), and you decide where you want your bindings mounted by the way you intend to ride them - dead center, park, or free-ride. These are the same ski as the Scratch Ghetto (I had those too - the last 3 generation of them to be exact), but the mounting point has been moved forward ~2cm from where it was on the Ghetto. I could've done without that personally. It's a little squirrely compared to the Ghetto, but I'll get used to it after a few more days on them.

Hey, i am also from the Midwest and do most of my skiing at smaller resorts as well, i own these skis and absolutely love them. For you though, i would recommend a less expensive ski. Especially because you don't go in the park often. The skis I would recommend are the 2009 Line Invaders. They are great, my friend has them and the are pretty cool, sick graphics as well with out hurting the wallet.

For the the bindings i would go SAS 2 120 or SAS 2 140 but theres no difference but din on the bindings so. I would go with those but you could look at 120 Axial 2 binding. but the SAS 2 has more metal so more durable. I have 140 bindings on mine scratch ghetto (same ski) but this SAS 2 binding is 7 to 8 ilbs. this is a different guy and he doenst know what he is talking about, i have the same setup with sas 140s and they are nasty dont listen to that dingle berry,

167 might be a bit short im 5 10 5 11 ish and i ski a 174 but i have the Rossignol Ghetto from last year there the exact same ski they are AMAZING i dont have any good pow where i live but mainly park and groomers. They handle great really reponsive but mine are not true center but on the addicted line the farthest one up that about 5 cm of true center good for a ski with this kinda side cut. But if your centering it go a few cm's back like 2 to 5 cm back. Go with 174 there not much longer but for your height go with 174's take a look at the scratch ghetto better graphics cheaper price. Same ski there 249.99 last years ski but i sware there the same as these. The graphics are so much cooler on the ghettos than these take a look.

Ok this ski is the same as the scratch ghetto so look into that i have it and its a great ski it even says in the descripsion continuing the legacy of the medal snatching scratch ghetto the dimensions are the same and every where ive heard its the same most of this years rossi skis are the same as last years with shit graphics so check out the scratch ghetto. i have em i loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee em. add another difference is this comes in a smaller size now thats about it.To cut Steezy's answer a little bit shorter. This Ski is the exact same ski as the 2008 Scratch Ghetto WRS. This ski still has the same construction, same base, same dimensions, and same core material. This is seriously one of the best park skis on the market. This ski, and last years scratch ghetto are considerably better than the previous years Scratch designs though.

This ski will do it all. It's not stiff though. So if you want to carve racer turns on groomers look elsewhere. It handles great on groomers for me i own the ghetto but its the same ski uh. Its not like the armada pipe cleaner there not super noodle skis but there soft. In short on my opinion they handle fine but not for racing look else where for that.
