Help choosing a ski

Hey

I live near edmonton ab so most of the time I am skiing park (about 65% rails 35% jumps when there) but when ever i get out to the mountains I spend nearly all of my time in the upper mountain, in the trees skiing powder or just having fun on small things on the side on a groomer so i want a ski that'll be good for all diffrent skiing. I'm about 5'7 5'8 and 130 pounds and a intermediate to advanced skier depending on the terrain. I want a light ski thats also derable as well as soft enough for park but can still hold in crud and when going fast. I have been looking at Ninthward b murdah's and armada halo's and my budget is below $600 before bindings

Thanks NS

salomon 2012s would be a good choice not sure how much they cost though.
also atomic access would be a good choice

Doen't meen to just shit on your ideas but the access is pretty wide still beacuse my long term plan for them is to keep them next season as like a park ski and the 2012 would be perfect but my brother is already getting them. +k

cant comment specifically on the antigens but i ride liberty morphics which are an amasing all mountain park ski, great with the 3 year warranty too, and they are really light
