Well, I'd say try and get your hands on some seth pistols.  I have em and I think they're the best all round ski.  They carve like mad on groomers, they are awesome in crud and even better in pow, and they totally stomp landings as if you were on a snowboard.  I've heard the BC's are delaming and if you want to huck cliffs and throw down on big hits, you'd better get a ski without a metal sheet in it.  Metal BENDS and then your ski is f@$#ed!!  I haven't heard a bad thing about the pistols yet, but there are always some skeptics out there, but you can't knock em till you try em.  I've also heard the Line Motherships are a good ski too!  Anyway, hope my input helps.
