im getting new skis this season, i can get any ski from dynastar, volkl, nordica or 4frnt. im looking for the best all mountain ski- less concentration on park and pipe, i ski mostly vermont but im going out west for at least a week and im hoping to have these skis for a long time

so far i have been thinking: Bridges, Walls, Trouble Makers, Nothin but Troubles, MSPs or STLs

feedback appreciated, thanks

alright first off... we need some background... age? Height? Weight? Skier type?

Second.. more out of curiosity than anything else... why are you limiting yourself to those brands?

Lastly... based purely on what you've given so far... I would go with either of the volkls. You said less concentration on park and pipe... you skis a lot in vermont... so you want a solid all mountain twin. Volkl twins are a little stiffer than the others you mentioned so they will be good out of the park. They have enough width to deal with any powder we get in the east, and they will still kill in the park. But with out knowing the info above I cant really tell you what the best ski for you would be. Also... there are a ton of skis from other makers that would be great for you. So think about that.
