Just to get some opinions on what you guys think. 5'9 135lbs. Ski like 55% all mtn and 45% park. Looking for something thats pretty stiff cuz im not really doing any butters ,ollies stuff like that, mostly focusing on jumps, not relaly any rails. So something that does great all mtn, but holds its own in the park. Also thats doestn cost a kidney.

Yeah thats about the best thing for you that I know of. They are a bit wider so they could hold their own in whatever the EC has for pow but they still hold their own in the park and they are a relatively stiff ski.
