What is the best faction park and all mountain ski?

I'm always looking for good ski to buy and I was looking at Faction skis and didn't know which ski would be the best. I like my skis wide but good for park.

The 3.0 are pretty good in the park as well and will definitely be better on a pow day, kind of up to you which you prefer look of. Either one you go for will be good but its important to go longer rather than shorter, especially with the 3.0.

I'm in a similar situation. I have one pair of skis atm (atomic infamous) which I use for everything but are best for rails. Im looking for basically the same thing as you in some new factions (can handle jumps well, piste fine and off piste if needed). I'm thinking the 2.0s as I'll rarely be in good pow so i wont get to use the 3.0s much for what they do best but the 2.0s basically fit exactly what I want

oh, chill! I think I'm going to go with the 3.0 just because I do backcountry alot in Vermont and I all ready have really great park skis (ON3P filthy rich2015). thanks for the feedback!

1.0 is park and 4.0 is pow. 2.0 and 3.0 are in the middle, depends what kind of width you want. in my opinion I would get to 2.0 because they are wide and made for park and all mountain and the 3.0 is more towards pow

The 2.0 is built to be more solid in the park than the 3.0. If you are planning to ride rails I'd steer clear of the 3.0. Next year's 2.0 has a more versatile rocker profile and is, in my opinion, a big improvement all over the hill.
