line anthems would be good
or moment tahoes
or moment reno rockers
all three would be perfect for what you want
the anthem is the softest ski
and would probably be perfect for what you want
but each ski has a different focus

i personally like the rockers
but if you are on a budget, than the anthems will slay
those are both primarily park ski, but park skis function perfectly well on the east coast
the tahoe is more all mountain oriented, but still kills it in the park
i am going to say anthems, just cause of the price
get the 07/08 ones, with the wolf graphic
