I am 5'11" 190lbs and 15yo

I ski at Blue Mountain in Ontario which in the middle of winter is mostly ice/fake snow in between light (1-2ft) pow days every 15 days. Have found a few spots that no one skis so they almost always have light pow no matter what the conditions are like. Friend has a house on a large property with some decent hills so we will build a mid sized (30-40ft) backcountry booter

I want a ski that i can do everything on Jumps, rails, light (1-2ft) pow, medium backcountry booters(30-40ft)

like to butter alot and jib all over the mountain, when riding groomers i like to carve alot both forward and switch

budget is 400$ and i am willing to buy used

looking at 90-100mm waist

have looked at the al dente, arv ti, 2012 arv, alpha x, halo 2, talismans and blends

also looking for bindings so if you can recommend some of those as well that would be great.

you live in Ontario...there is no such thing as backcountry booters so I wouldn't worry too much about a ski that can land those jumps.

Here's a couple of skis you might like:

Volkl Kink - 122/89/112 - $450cdn

K2 Sight - 118/85/109 - $400cdn

Line Chronic - 121/92/117 - $550cdn

Unfortunately finding new skis under $400 that will stand up to anything significant is almost impossible in Canada. Maybe check out Corbetts in Oakville for a deal on last years stuff. You might get a good find there.

I'm similar to you, 6ft 200lb 16 yrs , and i was looking for something like what you're describing. i went with blends and i must say, they're pretty tight. they do anything and everything i want and are fun as hell to ride. but, warning, they are delicate. my inside edges look pretty bad after 1 season, not sure if this really matters, but when jibbing and shit, my skis often hit each other and most of the times, it puts a gash in the edges. i can deal with it but it annoys me. looking back i wish i would've gotten something more like the Al Dente or something more durable, but i still love the blends.
