I am trying to find a ski mostly for park but that can handle some powder. I'm 6 foot and 150 pounds. I am an advanced skier. I ski whistler. I would love to hear any other suggestions!

Thanks
 
Al dente and filthy rich are two completely different skis. ON3P is 88 underfoot and allthough it has some good rocker in it, it won't handle Whistler pow. Al dente on the other hand is wide but doesn't have much rocker. Both skis won't handle the pow. You're better off going for something abit wider that you can take into the park. I reference you to this thread with a similar question as yourself.

The al dente is not a bad choice actually. It has a really long nose rocker so keeps the tip up really well. I really enjoyed skiing them in whis. The other ski I would look at is the on3p jmo or the new kartels. They will be better all round then the fr but so long as you don't get them too long you can use them in the park still. But honestly for whistler it sucks to try to get one ski to do it all. The snow is heavy here so you really want some pow, all mnt and park skis although mate you can make park and all mnt overlap depending how hard you ski.
 
I had some beat up line blends that I use in Whistler as well as my Mantra's they're a 171 ex rentals, could do with being centre mounted for park but are 100ish underfoot and decent in soft snow.

Looking at Filthy Rich or Kartel 98's as my new park ski's that I can put good binding's on and not the ex rental squires that are the bane of my life
