I am 5'10", 140-145lbs, more of an all mountain skier, but am progressing in the park (7's, fronts, backs, some rails...)

I pretty much want something that rips everywhere since i can only afford one ski, and don't need a dedicated powder ski for the east coast. I live in VT, usually hit up Loon, Jay, Burke, Cannon, and Sunday River. Also, i want something playful, i love popping off of everything, butters, and need something that can handle the few days of powder alright. Rocker seems dope, never tried anything with it.

I have been doing a lot of searching, but it always helps to get more advice from people with more experience.

I like Moments a lot, they are expensive though, but the Rockers in 181cm seem pretty good for all around, Night Trains are ill too, but I think would be overkill for what I do.

I am also interested in Line Elizabeths, K2 Obsetheds, and ON3P Jeronimo which seems a lot like the Rockers but for less $$$. Advice on which of these seems like the best choice, lengths, or any other similar ski you think fits the bill.

Thanks
 
I think the ON3P Jeronimo sounds like a great fit for you based on what you just described. I'd say go for that in 181cm. If you have any questions about the ski itself, PM the man himself, iggyskier, and he'll let you know what's up.
 
Go elizabeths. At untracked.com theyre only like 500 bucks and it'll do everything you just described. The extra width really makes a difference
 
The two that will perform best in park and all mountain I can think of are ARVs, and Kung Fujas. Either of those fit what you just said.

For more all mountain purpose, that will be better in pow than those two, and will be fun in park: 191 Shogun, 2010 Gotama, or LL1(half the rocker as LL2, so should be incredibly versatile since LL2s are).
 
thanks for the help, i think the smart choice for me is the ON3P, its only $399 so i could get bindings for the price of the Rockers ($625), i am only bummed that the rocker has a doper graphic. So for a binding the Griffon should be plenty for my size ( I only ski at an 7-8 anyways) ?
