I'm looking for a ski for trips up to Mount Bohemia (for anyone who lives in the midwest), and just powder days/all mountain cruising. Most powder days will be in tight trees. I am 5'9" 140 pounds and I would classify myself as an expert. I can get the best deals on Icelantic, RMU, Liberty, Bluehouse, Faction, and 4frnt. I have been looking at the Liberty Helix, 4frnt cody, Faction Prodigy, and RMU Apostle. Would any of these be a good choice for me? If not I am open to any other ideas.

I'm always not sure of what size to get for an all mountain ski. I currently ski a 179 Faction Silas which is center mounted so it skis very short, but feels nice and nimble for the park.

Any help is appreciated,

Thanks!
 
I've been spending almost every day this season on last year's Bacons from Line. They are so sweet, a definite one ski quiver. I may be wrong, but if you wanted to check out a pair there is no difference between the 13/14 and 12/13 other than the topsheet. I picked them up last year and had a chance to get on them out west in some powder, and they were magical. Out here in PA I stll stand by that. They rip the groomers up, are a blast in the trees, and still pretty stable on jumps. My park days are pretty much behind me, so I can't comment on sliding a rail with them.
 
I would agree, they are amazing. If you aren't super fit though they will wear you out by the end of a long day being 108 waist. If you have the cash, the Sick Day 95 is pretty awesome, and the Atomic Theory is a good all-around ski with decent flex and pop to roam into the park.
 
I absolutely love my bacons! They are deffinately the most fun ski I have ever been on, they excel in the trees and are even decent in the bumps the only spot I didn't love them was on ice, even on groomers they were sick they do have a bit of a speed limit but if you're a strong skier you can getting cookin pretty good with out much chatter. First ski I have ever truly loved
 
I would maybe stay away from blue house but icelantic is one of the most solid skis I have ever used.

Can't think of one reason why you shouldn't buy from them.

OP I would say icelantic nomad RKR or RMU apostle would be your best bet, both skis are killer and basically indestructible
