welcome to ns

the search bar will help you from posting repetitive questions

Aaaaand I would try GEAR talk for talk about GEAR.  Also try including height/ weight and the style of skiing.

if you want an all mountain ski that will shred groomers and park i would take a look at line blends. they are 100 underfoot so you can ski pow, groomers and park. its only more surface to slide rails on and land jumps. they are stiffer so you will be able to still ski everywhere.
