Ski Advice/Suggestions

I'm a west coast skier so as a lot of you may know i ski a bit of everything.

Some icy days, Some powder days, so i basically want a ski ready for anything without a mid day switch between skis.

Iusually ski harder terrain, powder, trees, groomers and ducking ropes during the day and hit up the park at night.

If i were to describe my type of skiing it would be all mountain freestyle i guess. I like to find my own naturally made jibs, jumps, cliffs, hit up some trees, charge the crud and powder and still goof around and have a good time cruising the groomers and the park.

I'm 5'11" and weigh 130 pounds. Any good suggestions on a ski that can do it all. But i mainly want a ski that I can charge on and rip the groomers and powder but still have some pop and flex for the park

LOL..who the fuck are you listening to?

tahoes breaking? i dont think i have heard 1 negative thing about tahoes, let along any problems with delams or breaking...

and crappy warrantee? they wouldnt be in business if they did. small companies like moment survive off of great customer service, involving their customers in their company, and standing by their product 100%. the best warrantees will come from small, indie companies...not salomon, volkl, k2, atomic,etc.

Then the blends sound good; I have them and they rip it everywhere except the super deep stuff just because they aren't super fat. Or maybe rossi scratch bc wrs's or MSP's, etc etc. many companies have skis that fit your bill

i wouldn't call the 100 a stiff ski... it's fairly flexy in my opinion. 
anyways the 100 could be a good option for a pow/allmt ski but not so good for park. if it is a pow/allmt/park ski you want i'd look into some chronics, blends, seths, etc... all suited for your riding needs.
