Okay, so I'm 5'10, 150 pounds, my home hill doesn't get too much snow and is often icy, I need to be able to do lots of park and lots of all mountain skiing (not BC, all mountain as in moguls, groomers, crud, some pow pow). I like fat skis, but I still need to be able to do 7s. Suggestions and why they would be a good ski?

you should be able to do 7s on any kind of ski.
that and check the searchbar.
not to be a jerk but...
there is a boatload of golden information hidden in this forum and the searchbar makes it oh so easy to access.

I would get 176/181 line chronic's. But if you like a fatter ski maybe get the 178 line blends?

If you are a fan of the bandwagon as I am, Moment Tahoe. Other options would be next years Chronic Blend, ARVs, Solly Gun, Scratch Brigade/S5, Seths... pretty much any light, softer ski around 100 in the waist.

Guaranteed you're going to have pretty much every type of ski suggested to you at some point in this thread. Pretty worthless.

HAHA thats always what happens on the "what do you think I should get" threads!
They end up confusing me more than helping

Exactly. Go find a good shop and ask for help, that's what staff get paid for. Plus they'll have actually ridden the skis and know what they're talking about. Just don't be a dick and say thanks for the help and go buy it somewhere else.
