I have been trying to find some good versatile skis for this years season. I ride about 60% park 30% pow, and 10% trash/groomers. Any suggestions??
skis that i have been looking at are: Sir Francis Bacons
Line Blends
Moment PB&J's
Salomon rocker2 108
Armada JJ's

Throw Rossi Scimitar into the mix, supposed to do just what your looking for and not be as expensive.

Rossi Storm is also an option.

If you are riding 60 park I would eliminate the rocker2 108.

^ What he said. If you're skiing 60% park then focus on that and deal with them in powder. If you compromise too much they'll suck in the park. Think 100mm waist and mellow rocker. Blend, PBJ, Jeronimo, Fujas all fit the bill.

Agree if it were my decision I'd ride the pbj or jmo.

since 60 percent park, blends. Playful and you can ski them everywhere.

As much as I love my PB&J's, I don't know how much fun you'll have skiing park on them. great all mountain killer but they are way too stiff for my preference in park

? I heard that they were decently soft and playful. I have heard nothing but good on them

I'm about 5'10" 145 and they are way too stiff for park. They don't flex hardly at all for me. Not complaining because they'll kill sloppy powder seconds and crud, but def not my first choice for park haha. They don't flex or pop for me. But if you weigh more than 165 170 I'm sure you might have something else to say. Some people say they are okay for pop. Check out the blister gear review

I'm 5 11 170 and love my 182 pb&j. They fucking rip ,pop and press but they are not ideal for park. Yes they can be ridden in the park just fine but its a lot of ski to toss around on rails. They are legit on jumps tho. It's an 8 on stiffness scale to 10

Armada Alpha 1, perfect ski for you you have a little fatter than normal park ski with tip/ tail early rise, basically a thinner JJ, favorite ski ive ever ridden, Great in park and a blast in pow.

What you really want is the rail jammin', urban tearin', park jib tool- Armada Bubba.

Or the ON3P pillow fights. The wider waist gives the stability underfoot you need when you're off camber on rails. And the 190cm range makes them perfect for spins

You have a point. Do some research on the Bubba's and Pillowfights OP, you won't be sorry.
