I'm in the market for new skis, an all mountain ski but i don't know what to get. I want something that is good for park and powder when there is some around. Does any one know of a ski?

kung fujas.
dont mount them true center if you want to search for pow. 96 waist and pretty soft
basically they combined the seth with the fujative and came up with a wide allmountain ski that has a nice flex for park and fun all over

or the suspect which is your do anything park ski
or the volkl bridge

(i was just in a ski shop and these are the skis that were recomended for me when i told them i wanted pretty much the same kind of ski youre looking for and i really liked the k2's)

So many to choose from, a little bit more info would be helpful (size, style of skiing, region you ski in etc...)
here are a few sites to look around in

I weigh about 160-170 lbs, ski whistler terrain, fairly aggressive skier, like some flex but not to much that the skis wobble as i go fast.

I love my Liberty Hazmats.  94 in the waist, extremely poppy, ride switch amazingly.  I'm about 160 lbs and their flex is perfect for me.  They don't chatter at high speed, but they're not 2x4s either.

bridges if you want a stiffer ski, kung fujas if you want a fun ski that you can butter on

go to a shop and test the flex of the skis first though, the fujas is pretty soft
