To say that it is not a good ski because it is not a pure twin tip ski comp is insane. Elan makes some amazing skis that being said the ski you are looking at is more of a big mountain soft snow ski so if you are looking for a park ski you might look else where. Keep you eye out for a ski under 85mm under foot.<a href="http://www.safedebthelp.com/debt-consolidation-help.htm"> Mike C</a> Yep its a wood core with a fiber glass wrap.

The illusions would work for park, but because Elan is a more "Classic" brand, all there park skis will be mediocre and over priced. Brands like Line, Armada and 4FRNT have great "park dedicated" skis that are also very inexpensive. I suggest the Line After-bangs if you want to ski only park on this pair of skis, or the Line Chronic if you want something more all-mountain.<a href="http://www.greattoolsusa.com/hand-trucks-4401"> TC</a> Wood, almost all skis have wood cores these days.
