Looking for skis

I am possibly looking to get some skis (when i stop being poor for a bit) and I really dont know what to get. I already have a pair of park skis looking for something a bit more all mountain. My favorite skis I have ridden have been the Volkl mantras and the blizzard Bonafides. Unfortunately these are both directional skis, and i want something with a twin tip, something that has a decent waist (100-110) and pretty stiff flex. I want something that can ride best in powder and crud. Basically something like teh mantra with a twin tip. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
 
I haven't had too much experience with them on ice but they charge right through crud with no problem and I'm sure they perform similar on ice as well because of the decent amount of traditional sidecut
 
If you can find some Scott p4 s and aren't that hard on skis they sound good. Check my reviews
 
Definitely make sure you look into the Line Sir Francis Bacon's. I have no experience with them, but i have only heard good things about them.
 
This and the Jeronimo steps up to 101 underfoot next year either would be great ... I would still go Jefferey if I were you
 
Turbo is awesome in the crud... but cannot lay an edge like the mantra. Those two sheets of metal in the mantra make it a really powerful ski.

if you want an all around carver, the mantra is the ski for you... i enjoyed it much better than the coachese and bondafine
 
Thanks alot guys, all your input is super helpful, and i did like the bonafide, but you said the cochise is no good? Also i do really like the Jeffery but the 186 might be a bit long for trees. More input on the jeffery's from someone who ones it would be great. Again thanks alot everybody and more is always good. Any input on the Moment pb&j would be great too.
 
seeing as you said your poor you dont wanna drop alot of money correct? i would recommend the afterbangs, i know you didn't talk about them at all but there super cheap, pretty durable and just a playful ski.
 
He already has park skis. It would make little sense for him to waste his money on a price point park ski
 
i like the direction that was coming from, but i already have a pair of anthems i am looking for something stiffer than a park ski and more versatile (a bit bigger and more comfortable at speed). Again thanks for the input everybody keep it coming
