Park ski to go with Seths

First post here. . . I am 15, 5'6 130 and ski in montana. I recently bought a pair of 169 Seths and love them. These skis were an addition to my previous one-ski-quiver 159 PEs. I am using the PE's for park now but want a new ski for that department. I am not a great park rider and I like jumps more than rails (nothing more than 3s and 5's over a max of 30 ft). I would also like something that can perform well enough outside of the park when need be but have Seths for non park days.
If anymore info is needed just say so.

Right now the Seths are mounted at +2.5 and are great in powder. Should I mount them farther forward if they become my everything ski? How far?

do not mount seths any farther up then your 2.5, you would regret it.

Seths get mounted at plus 5 by the graph (unless it got changed) or center, those are the two sweet spots.

chronics are good on rails too, double thick edge and base, and tons of pop.

judging from your weight and hight.... a 169 fujative mounted true center would be a great addition to your seths
a super fun ski, people say they are to soft for jumps but at 130 lbs you wont have a problem, unless you are hitting ridicules sized jumps and really really charge..

i would think the fujatives would be a good park ski for you. theyre definitely a good park ski for the price. 169 fujis would be a perfect fit.

chronics or blends will hold their own in park/all mountain. Maybe another pair of PE's too if you liked them
