I'm looking to get an all mountain ski that can hold its own in the park and powder. Any advice?

I'm 6'2, 175

Been looking at 4frnt SMPs, Liberty Hazmat, line prophet 90/100s, vokl bridge

4Frnt MSPs 187 and Volkl Bridges.  Either will fit your needs. Bomber skis too. MSPs are mad fun and slay the whole mountain.

wouldnt recommend prophets for park, they are just not made for that (although still a sick allmt/pow charger)... you might wanna look into some chronics or chronics blends if you like stiff skis, or some bacons if you like softer skis.

Bacon if you like a softer ski.
Yes, I've skied them, they are a sick one ski quiver that is slightly more powder oriented.  Soft, and fun.  Not a good charging ski by any means.

Prophet's are a bit stiff and not that great in the park, but you could definitely do it, they can charge though so it's a trade-off.

I ride Hazmats about 85% of the time.  They are bomber, have the best poppy flex, are lightweight, and are a great ski for almost any condition from the park to some pow.  By far the most versatile ski I've ever ridden.  I would steer you toward the Hazmats for sure.
