Honestly, i doubt this kind of ski exists. im looking for the ultimate 1 ski quiver. im probably 70% big mountain, lots of cliffs and powder, jibs/rails 20%, and jumps and pipe 10%. im 5'6", about 115 lbs and thinking a 160cm-170cm. waist width 90-100mm maybe go a bit lower. needs to be durable, i ski 4-5 days a week. light, a good switch ride, a good swing weight and playful in the park would be great, but is not needed. needs to be able to ski chutes, straightlines, trees, pow, drop 30ft and bigger cliffs, and hold its own on medium-large jumps in the park. needs good pop/good for ollying. good for pressing and buttering is ideal, but i understand that probably wont happen. i skied the above on rossi scratch screamin eagles last season, destroyed them, and was looking for something wider/softer. what do you guys recomend?

there is a ski that is refered to as a 1 ski quiver. its the line blend. its a good bc and park ski in one i sont kno how it handles in pipe its a fatter ski so it might not be great for pipe but everything else u described the blend seems like a pretty good math check it out

one ski quiver, the 175 JJ, you can get away with it being a little bit longer because of the rocker and this ski will do it all! little fatter under foot than you were thinking but with its shape and ability to carve on groomers this ski does it all!

what do you think is better: 07/08 blend (90 underfoot) or 08/09 blend (100 underfoot)

Check out Moment skis.
Armadas are always a really good bet and I hear Surface is good too.

I'd say, go for a powder specific ski with a little bit of versatility and when you get some itch to move your butt to the park, buy another pair of skis.  if your spending time in the park but not  insane amounts even a cheap broad-proformance pair would do yah good. Better than spending big bucks on this all in one super ski to bang the shit out of it and buy another one the next year anyways. You can keep both longer. Sounds like you ski enough to be sporting more than one pair.

Just my thought.

maybe look into frnt VCT, armada JJ, armada arv, rossi scratch s5, potentially the new s3 with tip rocker and also the 169 obsethed but the seth may be softer than your looking for especially when doing sketch lines.

the new s3, the new kung fujas.. or if you want a bit of a cheaper ski, just get last years models of those. it will probably save you a hundred bucks, but the rocker might be worth it to get the expensive 2010 models. pretty sure both would be good in a 169.
