Best 50/50 Ski out there

Hey im looking for some new skis... I want something that I can take out in the pow but still be able to use in the park. Any suggestions?
 
2 skis come to mind when I read this thread:
1) Moment Rocker - Mid-Fat rockered park skis. They kill it in the park but are wide enough to use in the pow or all mountain. And the rocker improves the butteryness and playfulness of them in the park. I've heard nothing but great things about this ski.
2) Line Elizabeth - This ski can be very different depending how the riders size. For Eric Pollard (who designed the ski) who is about 6'1" I believe, they are a fat park ski with tons of butteryness and playfulness. For someone who is shorter (like myself at 5'8") the Elizabeth is an all-mountain killer that is still super fun in the park.
I'd go with the Elizabeth. Super fun ski.
 
You will hear countless answers of all kinds of skis in the 80-100mm width

I am surprised no one has mentioned Kung Fugas, ARV's, or Chronics yet.

I think that you should get the Schizo binding. It will allow you to really adjust for where you want to ride. Plus we need more test rabbits with these on.
 
Armada JJ's will never let you down in any terrain. Really just pick a company that tailors to your tastes, and they'll have a do-it-all ski, some with new tech like Armada's Elf-Shoe and Moment's Rocker, etc.
 
Line Elizabeth. Far and away the best all mountain ski anybody could ever want. It floats great in powder ,and is super fun in the park and everywhere else. Its an awesome ski that you wont regret buying.
 
This is a park ski only. It's soft as hell and symmetrical. It sucks in pow or anything technical, but lots of fun in the park.
 
Another vote for the blend. I rode anthems last year (and will still ride them this year for rails) and they were sick, but as I got stronger and they got softer, they just seemed too flexy for a lot of the time. I got the Blends because I wanted something stiffer and I am glad I did, They don't butter like the anthems but they destroy powder and crud and are still ridiculous in the park.

Just my opinion. good luck

 
K2 Kung Fujas.
Be brave and get a solid mount. I'm not at all sold on Schizo yet, my friend is on his third pair...
 
just rode anthems yesterday and gotta say they can rip. havent taken em into powder cuz i live in md. but yea they go wherever. im a light weight but they felt solid not noodly and by the end of the day i really couldnt tell a huge dff between the anthems and the p.e.s i rode last year
 
!!!!!

how did this not show up wayyy earlier.

my s5's from a year ago are 98 without the rocker and i think that with the rocker they would be 10x sicker. and btw 98 is not too wide for the park at all. its actually really stable
 
Out of those three which do you think is the best? Also If theres any other sick 50/50 skis out there let me know...thanks
 
I have ridden the Rossi S3, in a 186. I am 6'2" about 170 pounds. The ski was mounted at +3 from traditional. Conditions were about 10" of fresh powder and then groomers back to the lift. The ski was really stable on the hard pack and in the soft stuff the tips found the surface every time. Have you seen any of these skis in person? Been able to flex them or anything? The flex was pretty medium. It was just soft enough that butters and stuff worked, but it was still a ski, and I would actually trust it off big jumps.
Thats my opinion on that.
 
add some line blends to that list (just no rocker nor early rise, good'ol traditional camber)... but if you want something solid with a different shape, you could check out some bacons too
