Public Enemies, or some '07 Scratch FS WRS, which would go for cheap right now, like $250 ish.

lizzies are way to soft to be an 80% all mountain ski. they may be fun for a little, but when you want to do things other than betters, you don't want a soft ski. he is very light, especially for his wietht, but the lizzies are too soft.

If you're 80% all mountain, i would most def. suggest some public enemies. Whenever the park is crap near me, they ski hard pack groomers like a dream.

i just saw the freskier ski test and they ahd the ar6s as one of the top rated al mtn skis along with park but if i have them centered will they be too big or not? but im inbetween the ar6s pes and blends it is kinda down to what my local shop has ion stock

if you like softer, go ar6, if you like stiffer, go pe, if you like medium and wider, go blend. keep in mind, the blend will have more sidecut which means good carving and the ar6 has little sidecut which means, less quick, but smoother carves. i would get the blends if i were like you and skied 80% all-mtn and 20% park.

defintely get the scratch ghetto FS's or public enemies. They would be perfect for what you describe.

If you want to go a bit fatter, maybe try the ARV's, but thats where I'm gonna stop.
