Best All Mountain/Park ski for me!

Hey what up guys?My name is Leandro, I'm from Buenos Aires, Argentina.

I work during the US winter in Park City, UT... so every December I go there and work and ski for a couple of months.

Due to a luggage constraint I only have a pair of skis... and I am looking for a new ski for the next season.

I love to ski trees, groomers and get into some powder (I don't go into the back country tho) and lately ive been hitting the park for a few boxes and rails. I consider my level as advanced in All Mountain, and begginer in the park. I would really like to get more into park, but I don't think I could spend a whole day in the park, just hit it for a few runs a day.

So the matter is that I sold my pair of skis and now I am looking for a new pair.

I would like to get an all mountain ski... that also could do decent in the park! My last skis had rocker in the tips, and that's why I had the bindings mounted in the center. Probably as I had a dead centered mount, hittin rails and boxes was much easier than it actually is with a non-rocker ski? Should I consider buying skis without any rocker?

Another important issue is that I don't want to spend too much money on skis, I don't care if it is a 2010 2011 or 2012 model, I dont really care. I am in the range of $200- $350.

I have access to fat powder skis from a rental, so when there is too much snow I just wont be using these new skis.

Ive been lookin in some websites and I came to these 4 pair of skis. Please it would be sick if u guys could advice me on which one to get... and if the right choice is not in the following list, please let me know!

@173 120/87/110.

These last ones, are the ones that I think today as te most suitable cause of the 87 underfoot. Please tell me what you think! The Rossignol S4 seem to be like a 100% park ski even thogh ive seen it listed as a park/all mtn ski.

Please let me know!

Thanks for readin, hope you have a good one. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Im sorry if my english is not perfect!

Peace!
 
you should look at the Surface Double Times. i think they are making another ski like it for the up coming season.
 
I am very impressed with your english.

Look into the line blend. Shreds in pow and are poppy in the park.
 
I also am impressed with your English. I think it all comes down to your preference. I have no problem with my rossi s4's all over the mountain personally. Read up on reviews though, and read people's responses.
 
Skis 2,3,and 4 on your list are good choices. I would drop the Candide Yards since they are a bit softer than the TJ's and not as much intended for riding all mountain. Personally, I would get the TJ's. Good luck and I hope you like your new skis whatever you should decide upon.
 
If you're looking to shred all mountain as well as park, I'd look into the on3p jeronimo or the on3p jeffery. Both are the same concept of a mustache type rocker with camber underfoot for increased fun in the park/versatility in the powder and crud. The jeffery is a bit wider at 108, whereas the jeronimo comes in at 96. Both could work as a park/all mountain ski, it just depends on where you ski the most.
 
Hey! Thanks for your replys!Someone knows about the Dynastar 6th Sence Spin? I am looking for reviews but I cant find anything!

Thanks once more, peace!
