I'm looking for a new pair of park/pow skis but haven't found helpful reviews. anyone have any suggestions for skis?
 
How much park riding are you going to do versus powder riding? And when in the backcountry are you going to be charging or jibbing? Also, how tall are you and how much do you weight?
 
This last year I did more park riding but am looking to go out into the backcountry more to ski some lines so id say pretty even in both. And I'm 6'2" 165lbs
 
It's gonna be pretty hard, if not impossible, to find 1 ski that will perform well as both a park and pow ski. My advice would be to try and get 2 skis, but it is alot of $$$.

The K2 Kung Fujas would be a good park/all mountain/light pow ski, also look into the rossignol S5.

The two skis are 95mm and 98mm underfoot respectively.
 
Will they be mounted tele like your name suggests? Either way I think your best options are:

Brigade/S5
Gun
MSP

These are all pretty good all around skis that you can find cheap.

You might even be able to get away with something a little bit fatter as long as it was closer to a centre mount. Something like the Steeze/S6 or a VCT. Also Moment Tahoes might be just the ticket for you, they are quite well priced for brand new sticks.
 
I would suggest Msp, they can handle everything, also this years high society's Fr, I never skied on them, but from what I hear they can handle everything too. They maybe be a little on the pricey side though. The Msp are a little little stiff, but they can rip big lines and they since the are a mid fat ski they stay on top of the pow. The waste on the 181 is 92, I think it is the same with the High Society, I have LD12 on my Mps and love them. They have some chill graphics, the only draw back is the top sheet chips alot. Hope this helps man
 
im suprised only one person said it but you need the older Scratch BC WRS they are yellow and white.....they look sick and are one of the best park/pow skis out there
 
im backing up the scratch bc wrs. ive got a pair and they are the best overall ski for powder and park
 
The Scratch BC was an amazing ski and the Brigade kinda follows on from that.

The ARV is a real nice ski, pretty soft but it may be what you're looking for if you want something more forgiving.

The Seth, either this seasons(0708) or last(0607) would be worth looking at.

The Dynastar Big Trouble really is an amazing ski and would be my pick for you providing you're a fairly confident skier. Some pros that were riding my mountain this season used them all day everyday, cork 9s in the park, 27 pretzers. And shredding the BC like no other. I really would advise you look in to them.
