Let me know what y'all think- One Ski Quiver, or Pow Ski

Currently riding 179 k2 Kung fujas'- a good ski, but getting long in the tooth.

Ski 70% North Carolina 30 % out west.. ski mostly park when im in NC, try to jib the whole mtn and ride creatively when im out west

Here is my dilemma

Do I get a new all mtn /park shredder like a J skis all play or Shreditor 102 to replace my Kung Fujas

OR

Do i get a beefier more specialized pow ski that will provide an overall better platform to kill it when I get out of the SE like a On3p billy goat or SFB??

Thanks

If you are skiing mostly park and all Mtn than the pow out west, I would highly recommend not getting a pow ski unless it could rip the whole mountain. Maybe look into something like batalla all Mtn twins or ON3P kartel 106. Both of those akis have rocker and are about 106 inderfoot. You can rip the park on both but still float in the deep.

If youre not going to be spending any signifigant time outside of NC anytime soon I would get another all-mountain shredder and demo pow skis when you're out west if you have to.

i think that your dilemma is that you live in NC.

I would go with something along these lines. A ski around 105 with some rocker will work for all of the conditions you listed. If you're patient enough to wait until next summer, you might be able to afford both a one-ski quiver and a pow ski if you look for good deals or buy used and you save your cash over this season.

Billy goat is overkill for the little out west you do - Kartel 106!
