I live on the east coast and im basically looking for a ski that can shred the park when the snow is shitty (%90 park %10 all mountain) but can also shred light pow, trees and groomers when i travel to larger hills/ when it snows alot. The main 4 skis ive narrowed it down to (based on prices, reviews and research)

surface double time

K2 revival

Blue House MR

Salomon twenty twelve

Help me choose between the skis listed above. Or if you think of another ski that you think would absolutely fit my needs suggest it.
 
im pretty sure the alpha 1 is a pretty solid ski for what you'd like

if you want a rocker ski ,
 
If your looking for the one ski quiver, you really should consider going with come type of early rise ski. Like mentioned, the Armada Alpha 1 ski is a good choice. It does really well on groomers and it quite stable on edge. However when you get into softer more variable stuff it floats surprisingly well for its width.

Definitely worth a look. Here they are on Evo Gear. You could probably find one a little cheaper, or simply go with the Armada Halo instead.

etc there are so many you mainly need to narrow what you ride how tall you are what you plan to progress etc
 
Id get the jeronimos but i dont have the money.

And ill add a little more information...

The majority of my skiing takes place on a small shitty east coast hill that is usually icey and has no good all mountain skiing. When i ski locally im usually always in the park. Around 3 times a year i will travel to larger hills for the weekend, when i do this i like to spend my time hunting down powder (if possible), skiing through the tree's or ripping down groomers.

Id like something with a low swing weight and close to center mount to help my progression in the park. I plan on learning alot of new rail tricks this year (450's....k feds...pretzels) as well as get better at jumps (add more than just tail grabs to my 540's,get much better at 720's, learn rodeos and try some corks)

Considering i live somewhere icey, but also want decent floatation i think something with a 90-95mm waist would be best. Im open to options with traditional camber or early rise.
 
the reason im staying away from the alpha one is because its pretty narrow and seems like it wouldnt float at all, despite its rocker.
 
my revivals worked great, they lasted 2-3 times longer than any other ski has and i could drop 25-30 foot cliffs into pow with ease

I have 2011 twenty twelves and its such a fun ski, so buttery and poppy. and it floats very well in powder its great everywhere on the mountain
 
the rossi storm is a wider waisted (92 mm underfoot) park ski that is good all over the mountain. that is what i would reccomend
 
The new bacons supposedly rip park and groomers. Plus they'd slay east coast pow. I dunno though it's a wider ski so your style would dictate if they would work for ya.
