Another dumb kid...

I know I probably sound like another dumb kid just asking what ski to get, but I thought I had my mind set on either Silencers or Fujatives but the more I read the more unsure about either of them. Is there and other ski that would best fit this criteria? I'm 6'1, 140 lbs. and I'll spend about 20-30% in the park and the rest just free-ridin (more than likely NOT in pow).Thanks.

Between the two...from what I read, silencers.

Although not if you plan on doing powder...they're pretty narrow.

I've decided, like many others, that there is no true combination ski.

I bought what I thought could be a combination ski...and this year I feel I need to buy a park specific ski.

The problem is...a good all mountain ski is going to be expensive. And much of that all mountain proficiency you paid for is lost when you mount your binding forward and start sliding rails.

You want your all mountain skis to carve. You want your park skis balanced and detuned. Riding rails will detune your all mountain skis. There seems to be no win/win.

What are you riding now?

If you think you're a strong enough skier, go for the PEs

id say go for some foils, scratch fs wrs, or karmas. all good bets for what your doing but the foils will get a lot of hate on here even though they really are a sick ski

I'd definitely say Dynastar Troublemakers, sweet all mountain and still great for park. Stiff enough for all mountain and soft enough for everything else.
