alright, i'm looking to buy skis for next year. I will probably get something from 07 not 08 cuz of price. below 500 is good. i have ar6s right now and love them but want to go up a lot in width so that i can use the ar6s for shitty east coast days (i am from the east coast) but have a wider ski for maybe some park, the limited powder days here and when i go out west (i get 2-3 trips out west every year). something that is anywhere from 90-110 at the waist and that is not too stiff... i was thinking about arvs, elizabeths, bacons, seths, vcts, msps, many things.... though they will be mostly for powder and park i do want something that can hold up adn carve well on groomers and such... any sugestions?

elizabeths are great on groomers until you get some ice, then they are fairly soft, but still not bad for such a soft ski. I think the scratch BC is a fantastic all around ski, and the ARV is great is you want slightly softer
