This year I made my 360's clean and my 270 outs clean in so i want to get a new ski. next year im going to spend half my time in the park and the rest all-mountain so i was wondering what would be a good ski to get. i want to get a ski that is going to hold up on rails.
 
What ski(s) have you had previously? What did you like/dislike about those skis? How much do you weight? How tall are you? and Where do you ski (east coast, midwest, west coast)?
These will help narrow down you're choices, cause there are A LOT of good 50/50% skis out there.
 
one very general ski that comes to mind is the rossi s3. great all mtn. light and works nice in park. but for a more specific recommendation, more info required
 
i have head mojo 2. liked how light. 5 foot(really short). 100 pound. ski at stevens and baker.
 
So, what I'm gonna guess you're looking for is a lightweight, soft, all-mountain park ski that has great durability. I'm gonna say Liberty LTE is what you're looking for (it's also my personal pick for a park ski next year), it's super light (it's not going to be as light as the Mojo 2, but that's because it has a wood core where as the Mojo 2 has a foam core I believe, so the wood core will be much more durable and responsive, and it's bamboo so its still really light). LTE is also pretty soft, but nice and solid underfoot. They carve like a breeze, so nice to ride around on (I have the Phil Larose, which is the old version of the LTE, right now as a beater ski, but they're so nice to roll around on). Also, because of the wood core and beefy edges they'll hold up EXTREMELY well on rails and jumps.
 
Definitely LTEs. They make 4 sizes, so you should be able to find something in your size. The flex is super poppy and snappy underfoot for good carving on jumps, yet they have pretty soft tips and tails for buttering and jumping onto rails. The edges are completely bomber and I don't have no edge cracks after a whole season of use. Pretty impressive in my book.
 
im thinking of getting the LTE'S in 157 but at 80 at waist isn't that a little narrow for an all mountain ski,also if i were to get them were should i mount them
 
also forgot to include in last post, would next years reno jibs be any good? They are suppose to be light,flexy,durable,and are 86 at waist so would be good for all mountain.
 
At 5 feet, 100lbs, you'll be fine with an 80mm waist, unless you plan on ripping powder a foot or more deep with them. Also, you could handle the 164 easily, and then you'd have an 83mm waist. As far as mounting, I plan on mounting mine at center, but they're for 100% park, but if you're going 50/50 with them then go with the "cab forward" stance (which I believe is either -2.5 or -1.5 - can't quite remember).
