Im looking for the best all mountain twin tip for the east coast. Rails, Woods, moguls, ice, cliffs, powder, what ski should I buy?
 
yes this will be a cliche answer, but cartel 98 or 106. Love my 106s for out west all day, i think the 98 would be good for you.
 
every ski mentioned is a great option, also check out the Salomon Rocker2 100 skis, i know some guys that shred on them and they find them really fun in the park and said they perform great everywhere else too.

on NS iv also noticed that alot of people like the SFB and ARVti for a ski that does a bit of everything. so maybe check out those sticks aswell.

I curently ride Revision Talismans as a park ski, but i find they can work pretty much anywhere. i have alot of fun on them everywhere i take them. They performed great when I skied the side counrty Slids at Whiteface, road them in the East coast pow in the back country around the Tremblant area, supper fun and quick in the trees, and carve great on the groomers.
 
i.ski wildcat, sidecountry like thompson brook and inbounds shots are steep,tight and conditions vary. having some rocker in the trees is better than regular camber, but you'll want some camber underfoot for the icy hardpack youll often encounter at wildcat. i would look at the salomon rocker 2 line. i ride the 122's.

wildcat really has no park, and wildcats only backcountry dumps you into jackson with flat runout . theres thompson brook sidecountry. anyway, if you want all mountain and park, look at the shreditor 102, rocker 2 100. id keep below 105 waist for park.

Line Sir Francis Bacon, maybe. Works pretty well all over the mountain, and should be manageable in the park.

It's true the Kartel 98s are fucking amazing. Super agile but have a grip and confidence level in them you wouldn't expect and that's huge in trees. That elliptical sidecut is just smooth as fuck and there's just a massive sweet spot to work with. They whip it in tight bumps and trees and are more than happy to lay down GS arcs too at speed. It's actually kind of crazy how good they are at everything.

I like them waaaaaay more than either of the pairs of tahoes I had and they're pretty close on paper.
