hummmmmmm....try maybe something like the chronic blend...its wider but i doubt it will give the the flexier type ski that u want. u could go for something more like the AR6...BUT THAT IS GOING TO COST YOU SOME DOUGH...also think about the sir. francis bacons. they are wider, they are softer, and if u pre-order them they will be alot cheaper....u could also look into some of Volkls line...possibly the Karma...but im not sure u are going to find a ski that is 50/50 park and all mountain, on the softer side, and cheap...all at the same time. you are going to have to make a compromise on what u want in the ski...but i would reccoment a lenght of between 170 and 180 (minimum 170) because u are going to be skiing some pow and a longer ski never hurts for the park. good luck,

many people wont agree with me but i have been skiing on the pistols and the vicious's for the past 3 years on east coast crud and i find them to perform very well i would recomend at least trying them before jumping to the conclussion they are too fat or whatever you may think of them.

yeah scratch bcs would be a good choice, and if u want to save some dough u can get the regular version instead the wrs or w.e its called now, cause its still a dope ski

i'd say go for the vicious man. i've heard nothing but good things about it, and it's not TOO fat.

personally I thought the big troubles were amazing for such conditions. If you have a tighter budget that might be a problem. Then again, the fatter you go, the more you pay, generally.

seths or big troubles, those are gonna treat you the best. and get it bigger than a 175, go more around 180ish and then push it up around +3 or 4 for all mtn and i think u will be set.

scratch bc or seth would be dope, but if you're on a budget chronic blend. Or I'd say anthem but you probably dont want center mount if you are 50/50
