do you mean groomed trails when you say just trails? since youre just starting out park, and i dont know if you ski pow and trees, i would be looking for an all mountain twin with around an 80-85mm waist so they arent fat and heavy.
other than that, we also need to know your height, experience, and what kind of flex are you looking for? with that, a few of us can point you in the direction of a couple of skis you could choose from.

Most skis between 80-100 mm underfoot that are twins will suit you well. I ride Volkl Gotamas, but they're from last year so they aren't rockered. I've heard nothing but rave reviews regarding Line Prophets. Go 90 if you don't get much powder, 100 if you do. Trust me, the wide ski setup doesn't make much of a difference- I got used to it quickly (Goats are 105) and I prefer it now, for everything. Look at K2 Kung Fujas, and Line Chronics, too, as well as just browsing the web. The Gear section of NS has some good info.
In the end, though, it's what feels best to you- so if you have the opportunity to spend $50 for a day's demo on mountain, take it. Often, demo shops on the hill will let you swap out skis during the day, and you'll be able to test a ski for an hour or two, then switch out for another, then another, and another. All day long.
