this but as far as off piste park ski performance goes, the rossi scimitar is up there as one of the best.

yes the scimitar performs well off piste but I wouldnt consider it a park ski. Its like 100 underfoot.

The Rossignol Storms are a great Ski. They have a 92mm underfoot so they are a pretty big park ski but can still perform pretty well other places. You might also want to look at the K2 Recoils, they have an all-terrain rocker and I have heard very good things about them

 I say get two skis. Any ski in back-country or pow should be 110+ underfoot. But we've all been there. You can only own one ski. Here are some recommendations.

Rossignol Scimitar 128-98-121  Rockerd

K2 Kung Fujas132-102-127    Rockerd

Line Blend  132-100-122          Rockerd

Salomon Rocker2 92  123-91-116       Rockerd

ON3P Jeronimo 131-101-124 @181         Rockerd

Volkl Bridge 128-95-115       Rockerd
http://www.evo.com/skis/volkl-bridge.aspx

Kastle James ski 120-90-120        Rockerd
http://www.skiershop.com/2013-kastle-james-skis/

Skis on this list I'd seriously consider If I was in your situation. The K2, Rossi, ON3P, Kastle.
Out of all them the most curious is the Kastle. They make dope skis. This year they made some twin tips in three categories pow,all mnt, park. I wanna test them out.

This is just a short list of what might work. Check out all the others listed on the thread as well.

I had the same exact question... and honestly... go with the Moment PB&J's. It has a 101mm waist. It's perfect for park and pow. I have searched now for months, and these are the ones I'm ordering. The 2013 graphics aren't necessarily my style, but I really don't care how they look, as long as they shred like no other. Seriously, check em out. Momentskis.com.

What kind of park skiing are you going to be doing? Jumps? Rails? You like a stiffer ski? Softer ski? What is your ability level in the park?

I would recommend a ski that is around 100mm underfoot, giving it plenty of float in pow and still not too clunky in the park.  Also, look for a Rocker/Camber/Rocker profile (get the benefits of rocker in the pow, but still have the power and control of camber underfoot in the park and on groomers).

A couple of our personal favorites (all of which I've skied a bunch) and won't break the bank:
   -Atomic Blog
   -Line Blend (re-designed for 2013)
   -Armada TST
   -Line Sir Francis Bacon   (108mm underfoot, but my be a good option where you are)
