 Invaders or anthems. The Anthems are more stable. Cost a bit more.

A stance has a lot more to it than simply the mounting point on your skis. As does rail balance.

Typically, if you are looking to be jumping and jibbing rails with a ski, true center or -1 or -2 cm from true center are good places to mount. However, if you are looking to ski powder, a mounting point further back  would be a good idea to help your tips float.

If you are looking for one ski, you will have to compromise because fat skis are generally not quick in the park and jib skis make powder a lot less fun. I would suggest looking in the 90mm waist range, at things like the Line Chronic or Volkl bridge. You could also go fatter and include the Line Anthem, K2 Seth, or Salomon Gun in your search. I would suggest going no longer than 175cm, with the ideal being around 170cm.

Best of luck.
