Ok, so I'm 5'4 105 pounds, and i'm looking for a ski that can do some of everything. A little powder, some park, some backcountry, and everything in between. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Thanks

Line's got you covered if you want buttery and playful skis: SFB, Blend, Elizabeth

If you like stiffer skis and traditional camber then Rossignol S5 is a great choice. Also Armada ARV.

Just wondering why everyone recommends the S3 over the S5. Apart from the rocker, slight differences in dimensions, slight differences in tip shape and bad vs. good looking topsheet, what is the difference?

Why are people recommending a pure park ski like the ar7?

I would go with something a bit wider like the kung fujas or maybe the surface watch lifes if you are into the smaller brands. Also the Salomon shoguns would be a great option, I have seen people slay with them in the park and they are a fantastic backcountry/powder ski.

All three of those skis are around 100 underfoot. I think that is what will help you the most.

True, my wording wasn't good. Stiff was refering to the S5 and then I just mentioned the ARV as another choice.
