ARV or the Bacons. Personal preference but those will be the two best choices

Of everything on this list so far, ON3P J-mo is the only one I agree with 100%. It's a park ski that shreds all mountain like a champ. Line SFB is sweet too, but not really a traditional park ski feel at all. Not for everyone.

Every day I ride my Salomon 2012 186's I like them even more. Super quick swing. never grab/catch/hook on switch. Great in the powder with surfy playful turning and surprisingly frickin rail on the groomers at near race quality arcs.  I was draggin my hips on steep groomed the other day and my buddy asked "did you get a race ski?" I cant say enough good things about this ski, salomon nailed it.  10 out of 10.   Only thing they dont do 10/10 is wet crud...but on those days I ski different places on the mountain anyway.

I completely agree, just make sure you mount them dead center.
