What you are asking doesnt exist. There simply isnt a ski that will do everything from urban to pow. You can buy yourself some cheap urban skis, to narrow down your requirements, and then repost what you value the most, minus the urban jibbing. I would think it would be possible to do some backcountry jibbing with a pow pow ski, but not a really burly one.
 
thats just rediculous. Lots of people use 1 pair of skis for everything and do just fine. I'd say scratch bcs, arvs, pes, fujis maybe, or just about any other mid-fat twin-tip.
 
You need the Mantras my friend. They have some width for powder and yet not to fat for the non pow. Sound like they would be just right for you. The lenght is mostly what you like.
 
^^Jibbing with the mantra? I think theyre just as good for jibbing as the B-squad pro...

Karma is a great all mountain ski, but if you chose allround, you never get a ski that is great for anything, just good at some stuff.

Scratch BC WRS is a pretty good ski for pow/bm dont know how it does in park thou.

Check out these skis www.hendryxskis.se/ great allmountainskis, yes everyone of them.
 
my bad that was an idiotic comment, the ski I was thinking of is not in production yet. Look for it next year. But anyway because they still sell the old mantras, get the dumont pro if it is long enough, if not, I would go with some big troubles.
