Help Choosing a Powder/Park All Mountain Ski

Sorry to post another one of these "what ski should i get" threads but I am. Getting my first season pass this year so I am HYPED and I am going to be shredding every weekend. I am looking for a solid pair of skis that I can take to the park (not good at park but I want to hit it this year and jib and get better) but also float in pow. I love powder so I will probably be hitting it quite often so I would need a good mix. I was looking at Sir Francis Bacons and Line Chronics. I also read something about Surface Lifes? Never heard of them. If you guys could give me some recommendations as to which skis you think would be best for me I would really appreciate it! Peace out

(I have been skiing all my life so I have a good amount of experience, just never had a pass. I would say I am upper Intermediate to lowish Advanced skier, I can hit blacks all day and doubles if I am careful)
 
Where will you be skiing this year?

I really like ON3P, I'd recommend the Kartel 98 as a Park/Pow ski.

Also 4frnt is good. You could get the Devastator or one of the other skis I forgot the name.
 
Bacons definitely arent park skis but they will shred anything else you throw at them. If you mount them at Erics, they are fairly butterable and will help in the park but will slightly kill the powder performance. IMO, look at a cheap park ski and a cheap ski with ~110 waist and youll be set
 
I ride Bacons now and if you are looking for a ski to hit both pow and park then don't go for Bacons. I love them but I have tried hitting rails and just not the biggest fan of the feel. The chronics are a great ski for both. Thats what I would go with in my opinion.

where are you skiing buddy? if you're east coast whoever is recommending a ski that is 110 underfoot is fucking stupid.

Outside the park are you relatively aggressive when you ski or more laid back and jibby? if you havent skied much in the park you most likely wont have figure out you're style so buying an soft buttery ski like the blend my just hinder you're progression out of the park.

all this really depends on where you are skiing mostly though?

im skiing relatively low in the Sierra Nevadas in CA. 6000-9000 ft, place called Dodge Ridge. Im pretty laid back and jibby outside the park but I also like to get aggressive sometimes and haul ass down the mountain, so maybe a mix of the two but more on the laid back side. I want to be able to ride switch whenever and hit off trail jumps and stuff and pop spins wherever. I hope that helps.
