Skis for me

I'm sure you're tired of seeing these threads, but I really need some help.

I've been skiing since I've been 3, I am now 15. so I would put myself in the upper intermediate class, I guess? I've never really been interested in to the park aspect of skiing until the past to or so years. I'm currently on a pair of K2 Omni 2.5's (link= http://sportsbay.com/omni25ibc100.html[bindings too]) they've been a good ski for the rest of the mountain, but not so much in the park. I am from the oh so wonderful icy east, my local mountain is Shawnee peak (http://www.shawneepeak.com/)I still want to very much be able to hit up the rest of the mountain with out having to muscle the shit out of my skis for that to go well.

so, 40% park 55% groomed 5% pow.

5'10"-11"
140
high intermediate
Icy east coast.

Price limit $500, I don't need bindings.

I hope thats enough, ask if you need more info.

you should look at this or last years line chronics, which are great for all mountain.

also check out armada ar5 and ar6's.

some other good ones might be salomon foils, rossignol scratches (not the bc), and possibly k2 public enemies. these are all skis for the general 'all mountain' genre, so ill let NS do the rest as far as what other skis and which of these is the best match for you..

his price range is pretty generous - it's 500 w/o bindings. so lots of possibilities like ar6, foils, scratch fs, possibly a karma on sale, maybe stl but prolly the others would be better.
