Shogun would be my pick for SURE, they can go anywhere - powder, park, groomers.

shogun all the way man. Really versatile ski and it is real light too. Plus, it even has awesome graphics.

Seems to me the majority says the shogun, the czar might no tbe a bad option, especially now that its a bit softer with the bamboo core next year.

id do the czar over the shogun for sure...i demoed both and the shogun was a little sketch on hardpack, i was washing out of fat hard turns like crazy. however if youre in a softer snow region the shogun would kill it in pow because its really light and playful. but like i said, maybe not enough ski for me on hard pack (im 5'8 160).

i was very surprised by how good the shogun was, supper poppy, but still very stable, the bamboo core does wonders. I skied the 182 and my dad skied the 17something, and he felt a little wishy washy on it sometimes, so i'd say 182 shogun

2012(more park but might be doable in powder), shogun( all mountain ski made to rip every thing and be ok in park but really good in powder), and the czar(great at powder, doable all mountain, wouldnt wanti it in the park.)
powder ratings: czar- #1
shogun-#2
2012-#3
park rating : 2012-#1
shogun-#2
czar-#3
hope this helps or atleast makes sense

I personally didn't like the Shoguns much.  They felt heavy and slow to me.  Not enough sidecut for my liking as well.
