Best all-mountain skis?

Hi everybody,

I’m in the market for some new skis right now and I’m looking for some advice on what the best all mountain skis are. Here’s a little about me:

I typically ride all over the mountain doing just about everything and a bit of park too. I’m a pretty advanced skier who weighs about 130-ish and is around 5 foot 7 or 8 in height. I’m looking for something I can ride switch on that has a sort of poppy feel to it but can still go down the steep stuff. Trying to find something that’s rocker/camber/rocker but I could be easily persuaded to something else.

I’ve been looking at the K2 Shreditor 102 right now but unless I grow or shrink 6 inches then the availble sizes are no good to me. As for bindings I have absolutely no idea and haven’t looked into them. Any advice or words of wisdom helps!

Thanks!

Something with a 100-110 mm waist would work. And pair that with some p18s and you would be good.

k2 poacher or k2 marksman. both haven’t changed from 2017 just graphics so that gives you some options with the potential to save some money. both ride amazing and have tons of reviews for you to check out and they will tell you that. as far as bindings check out the marker squire or griffons

Putting a 5 foot 7 130lb kid on p18s is pretty overkill

Seriously though, the max recommended din you'll see would be like 8, so 10 would be cranking it up pretty hard. 6'7'' and 230 might want to look at 18 din bindings.

Armada Invictus 89s then just get like the cheap marker 10s. You're DIN should be like 7. So you don't need crazy sick bindings.
