Looking for some ski help, sorry i had to do it

[Dropbombs8]

my selection has come down to j skis (cats in space), on3p filthy rich, alpha x and or bdog. want something to handle every condition on the east coast (ice more ice and that east coast real shit),is softer,can butter and press. although i do like to hit a good amount of jumps. Im 5,5 130lbs and ski 50% park 50% all mountain. 65% jumps 35% rails/boxs, which one?

If you want a ski to handle ice well then really avoid rocker and softer flexes. A stiffer full camber ski will be best on ice. Maybe look at some all mnt twins if your only in the park 50% if the time. But if you want to butter around and mess around at slower speeds then a softer rockered ski will be way more fun. So do you want to bomb around the mountain or do you want to jib the mountain.

What tom said^^^ camber stiff skis will do better on ice. However, out of the skis you chose for ice I'd say

1. Alpha x

2. J skis

3. Bdog/fr

I say this because alphas are for sure the stiffest, but have some rocker. J skis are softer but have less rocker. Bdog is super soft and so are fr are a tad stiffer than bdog but have more rocker.

I can carve my filthys on east coast ice just fine, just saying.

Well I guess a bit if both but really want to get better in the park and do butters and all of that. So that's why I chose those skis but still want to rip the rest of the mountain. Like for example I'm probably going to buy the white mountain super pass and ski at watterville and cannon a good amount and I'm looking for a ski that will do great on some occasional soft snow, trees, Handle in the bumps (hopefully real well, cannon gets pretty choppy by the end of the day), and rip on groomers. I don't want to buy two skis especially with around a 650 dollar budget. With what your saying about a stiffer full camber ski being better I already have (still in good condition but getting small) a 161 pair of 2012 salomon threats so I guess I can still use those on certain days. But what would be a good ski for doing what I said above but can still butter around and be real playful?

Of those I would say alphas. They are reasonably stiff so you can charge about on them still. If I was you I would honestly wait and demo at the stry of the season. See what you like and what suits your style and then buy what you like the best.

Yeah I'll consider this
