Alright so Im looking for more of an all mountain ski with enough float to be decent in powder, but still able to crush the whole mountain. I live in the midwest so powder is in short supply. mainly looking to use these skis when I travel to other resorts. My current set up is a pair of line chronics which I love and are great at home. However Im going to utah and oregon this season and want to make sure I have the right skis! Here are my current options Im considering. let me know what you think and if you have any other great suggestions!

J skis- The vacation (106 waist) and the all play (98 waist)
ON3P- The Jessie 98, or 108?? (108 maybe too fat for what Im looking for??)
Line- The Blend (100 waist) Ive heard these are so fun and similar to my chronics but fatter... but may want to try something new?
Moment- PB & J (101 waist) my current favorite and front runner... is this ski as great as I think it could be??


Thanks in advance for the feedback!

I'm crazy about my 4frnt Aretha's, super solid, fat enough to crush pow but also light enough to get serious pop off the rails and jumps. Highly recommend. Also the Majesty Local Beauty, it's a bit of a boutique company but their ski's CRUSH.

The only set out of those I can personally speak to are the Moment PB&J's.
I got my pair 2 seasons ago, they're absolutely amazing. I've taken them cliff jumping both in fresh powder and not so fresh left overs, crushes it. Park, pops like a dream, light swing weight, decent flex without noodling. Big mountain, yes, trees, yes big time, low chatter/vibration over hard pack. I've taken them all over and I feel like they're fat enough to float well but not so fat that powder becomes their only use. Especially for the snow we get out west where sometimes it's harsh snow in the morning and soft by noon. Or when it's a powder day on Monday and by Wednesday everything has settled down but is still fluffy in the trees. They're really good "weird snow" skis.
