I have Obsetheds and they kick ass at everything. super good switch, buttery and you can land anything you try on them. They are a more powder oriented ski, but they are still good on groomed, bumps, and in the park.

Well since you're from NH and seem more geared towards park skiing...Chronics are definitely the right choice out of what you listed.  I picked up Blends as my ride for days when there's some pow or when I don't feel like sitting in the park all day, and have been nothing but pleased with them.  Haven't slid many rails with them, but they're stable in the air and I don't have a more difficult time bringing them around during spins.

please dont buy skis over 100 in the waiste its completly unecesary for those mtns iv been to both yes there are pow there sometiems but if your skiing park on them to anything over 100 is gunn abe way to wide. plus we dont get pow that often enough that you would need skis that fat.

id say go with like volkl bridges, chronics, surface watchlifes, moment renoe, theres so many ou there

you gota realise that every brand make sick skis in the area your looking for. it all depends on what you want from the ski... to often people buy the brand not the ski....research all the brands, from head to salomon, armada, k2, rossignol, volkl, but also things like dynastar or moment.... dont just limit yourself to the most popular brands or models, there are many more sick skis out there that might suit you better
