I am looking for a new ski to buy this year for going out west. I ride mostly midwest hills but am going out to Telluride colorado this winter. I ride 85% park and am looking for a ski thats semetrical with camber under foot with tip and tail rocker (or the next best ski that is closest to these standards) im 5'11 160lbs 18 years old and currently ride '10 164cm Atomic Punx. If you could post any sugestions that would be great.

ok so an all mountain ski that is outstanding in park would be the line chronic its 92 underfoot so if your not in powder that much it will be fine. make sure first that your not doing like pillows or anything cause you will get stuck. if you are planing to ride powder but you are looking to hit some rails i recomend k2 kung fujas its a good pow all mountain ski and will do park if you tell it to. have fun in telluride my parents just went there for vacation.

Thank you for the sugestion. I really like the idea of the rocker in the tips and tails though and the cronic is just regular camber...

alpha 1s, k2 domains if u want something similar in waist with to ur punx. If you wanna go wide kung fujas are definitely an awesome ski I purchased them wen they didn't have the rocker and wen they added it too. Line blends too could be a possibility

Assuming the first jumbled word is a fancy way to spell symmetrical... you just described the Liberty Antigens. They're new to the line this year so I can't give you a review, but if they're anything like the rest of their offerings I expect BIG things.
