i've seen guys do amazingly with the bc in the park. It's all your skill level. Get the BC, also the Line Darksides are good all Mtn twins but they tend to break easily if you put them through a lot in the park.

The Volkl G's and the V's are pretty much the same ski, excepting the higher tip (i.e. twin) on the V's.

if you hated mad trix, maybe go with 1080's. i consider them to be opposite of mad trix in almost every way.

scratch bc's are stiff. You can get big air with the scratch bc, and land it, but the thing is our park kinda sucks.

if you ride groomed go dynastar. if powder go bc/arv/lbf. all of these can take park abuse but tear up the mtn.

I'd suggest two skis for you-
1. Volkl V's. I own them and they are so nice all over the hill. only downfall is that in powder you tend to sit backseat a lot of the time.
2. Salomon 1080's. Great ski and it works well all over the mountain. Unfortunately i dont' own a pair,just did a demo once

Well, I'd say try and get your hands on some seth pistols. I have em and I think they're the best all round ski. They carve like mad on groomers, they are awesome in crud and even better in pow, and they totally stomp landings as if you were on a snowboard. I've heard the BC's are delaming and if you want to huck cliffs and throw down on big hits, you'd better get a ski without a metal sheet in it. Metal BENDS and then your ski is f@$#ed!! I haven't heard a bad thing about the pistols yet, but there are always some skeptics out there, but you can't knock em till you try em. I've also heard the Line Motherships are a good ski too! Anyway, hope my input helps.

I really like my Dynastar candides for all mountain stuff. They work great in powder as well as groomed and in the park.

we all know that Dynastar Candide's are the SHIT for all mountain skiing. Not to mention you can get them for pretty cheap. They're the way to go.
