So I took a job in Philly for after graduation. I’m planning on skiing some park in the poconos and looking for a ski for that purpose (read icy conditions). I prefer a stiffer flex.
 
What are you on right now? What have you ridden before? Anything you've loved? Anything you've hated? How tall/heavy are you? These are all important things to know before recommending a ski.
 
5’9” 185lbs. I ride 184 bibby pros which are my favorite ski ever and 186 governors which absolutely rip. I also really liked my pb&js but felt they were too rockered for great performance on ice. Hated the JJ 2.0s.
 
I'd say a few skis you might like would be the K2 Poacher, Dynastar Slicer Factory, Line TWall Pro, Icelantic Nomad 95. Basically, a wider stiffer park ski without a crazy overexaggerated rocker profile.
 
I would sreer clear of the poachers if your doing park and ice. Huge rockers in length, after a detune I feel like mine have about 20-40cm left of effective sharp edge. Sorry no other recomendations though, was going to say pbj since you always post about the Bibby pro, maybe give them a bash first ?

Had a pair already. Loved them for CO but too much rocker for PA ice skating
 
The chronics would be nice, maybe some head caddy’s or framewalls bc I have some now and they are pretty nice.
 
I picked up a set of the Revolt 95s and am really enjoying them... nice and solid for carving with speed, and still good pop and lots of fun when hitting jumps
