I'm going to be heading to Snowshoe shortly and I want to demo a good ski a plan on buying. I'm going to be hitting about 50% park and 50% downhill, if the ski performed decently on powder or in the pipe that would be a huge plus also. Giving 2 suggestions, one in the lowest price range and the other as your primary suggestion would also be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

I'm going to say Public Enemy as the cheapest, and my top picks would be Mojo 90's and karmas

Public Enemy all round, Foil if you don't ski 50+ days a year, Karma if you can handle it. If you're even considering skiing deep powder ever go and buy Seths right now. Swth uses a standard model in AK and I know guys who have it as their 100% park ski and others as the ski they instruct on. Truely the most versatile ski out there.
