These are the three skis i'm looking at for this season. Volkl Bridge, 4frnt switchblade, or the dynastar slicer. I'm thinking either of putting barons griffons or the look px 12 on the dynastars any opinions from anyone who has skied these? I'm an all mtn skier and none of these skis will touch rails thats what my instructing skis are for. K+ for legit answers.
 
volkl bridge is a sweet ski, but not pop obviously, dynastar is very very heavy, but durable and poppy, and i couldnt tell you about teh 4frnt

 
Barons would be on the slicer or bridge most likely. A bunch of people i work with ski backcountry and i've one a few times and am sick of the boot pack so barons would let me skin up instead of bootpacking.
 
If you dont go with marker bindings, and want to go with the look/rossi's, spend the extra $100 and take the pivot/fks 14's over the px12/axial 120's. They will be more durable. and be much safer because they have the turnable heel.
 
The ski also is going to be my ski for taking my PSIA level 2 on and parts of my FS 1 so it needs to be able to rip on hard pack and ice which is kind of why i chose the skis that i have listed. I know I'm going to hear from everyone that if your a good skier you can do that on any ski but unfortunately to pass the level 2 test you have to do it PSIA's way.

inb4 haters on instructors and PSIA
 
Ok I got you. I've never tried any of the skis you've listed but I've tried some other volkl skis with the full rocker and they were just to skittish on the groomers, didn't really hold an edge.
 
Switchblades are super fun. Stiff.. but fun. They are stable as hell, charge like a mofo, and are great for stomping a big landing whilst sending it. I'm 5'10 and ski the 181. Perfect ski for tearing the frontside and park apart, and 89 underfoot is nice for dipping into the trees for some stash action.
