i cant afford having park and powder skis, i think the faction soma (in 1.84) could be a good choice.
normally i use to ski in the backcountry, but i also go to a couple of slopestyle comps and do some urban every season.
what all mountain skis would you recomend me?, are the faction soma too bad on urban rails and that kind of stuff?

Get a thrashed pair of twins at a ski swap next season and take urban off your list of requirements. Whatever you go with, it'd say it's unrealistic to expect a seriously urbaned set of skis to easily go back to shredding bc lines.

i think that skiing bc (at least in los andes) is what destroys your skis the most, i`ve had to change almost every season my skis because of landing on hidden rocks.

If you do bc and park comps it'll be hard to get by on just one pair, try to get two cheap used pairs. For bc go with something like Pettitor or Bent Chetler. For park just get a park ski. You can find cheap prices late season, look at demo shops that are selling their demo skis come late spring/summer.
