na, groomers will be ok and such, but pow will be a little bit uncomfortable on em. not necesarily because they are centered just because they are narrow park skis. but grooomers, park, and pipe will be fun as hell on dumonts

hmm i dont know to much about boots. SPK's i think would be good in park because i believe they have a lot more flex in them, and foils i think may be a little bit more stiffer so that may be better for all mountain. but id go kaos if you ride mostly park

you think that 122 in the tip, and 86 under waist is a skinny park ski? more like a wide park ski. look at any all mountain ski, tips in the 120s and pretty similar shapes to the dumont/suspect. a skinny park ski is something like the JO Pro, invader, chronic, punx, nothing but troubles, etc that are in the low 80s to high 70s under waist. you will do fine in pow with dumonts. i had public enemies and they were good enough in pow for what i did, and they are skinnier than dumonts

i wasnt calling dumonts narrow park skis, i meant "park" skis in general are narrow and i said skiing pow will be uncomfortable, especially on a park ski at centered.....

I would have gone -1 or -2 just cos you will be doing some all mountain. But then again I have riden as set of Scratch FS's center and they were sick. So im sure whateva you have done will be fine.
