I would have to suggest the Line Prophet 100. It is the greatest all mountain ski ever. It is extremely versatile. It does well in the park but it is ideal for crud/pow and dominating groomers switch.

Take a look at the Line Anthem, at 93 underfoot it has enough width to hold its own out of the park, but enough playfulness to dominate within.

Also take a look at the Moment Tahoe, at 96 underfoot this is a dedicated all mountain ripper, but it still shreds in the park.

the line blend is one of the most versatile skis out there right now. I'd go with the 183

Nordica Zero? Seems like it would ski well all over the hill because it's symmetrical, Good in Pow, Good in the Park. There are loads of great skis. It would help to know how much park, piste, pow etc you want to ski.

reno rockers sound perfect for you. 92 underfoot and rockered so they will float in pow, and medium flex great for butters and jumps. or arvs, kung fujas, amplid antidogma, blends, volkl karmas if you can find them

Yeah the bridge for sure.  I also think the S5 would serve you very well.

Ehh, I would say 178.  Other than that he's right about the blends!  They should kill it everywhere.  I was going to get a pair this year then realized I needed to save money.  Get the Blends you will be overly satisfied with the performance.

Dynastar trouble maker FTW, we got some in at my shop and their sick, really stiff for a twin which means it will hold up when you lay down a carve at moch speed, its pretty narrow so you can slay a bump line, its a twin so you still look cool and you can ski switch, it has a sheet of metal above the edge under foot so its got extra support on rails.

Last but not least there is a hot bitch on the base in barley any clothes :)

K2 Silenecers, they are on k2s site as an all mountain ski, and i also have them and like them alot. they are also fairly inexpensive, only $300.

Another vote for the S5, 96mm(179cm) underfoot, relatively stiff, dope graphics..and its pretty decent for weight. High Five!

I just picked these up about 2 weeks ago, so far they rip, 96 in the waist and huge tips and tails. Float great, carve even better. The ride switch pretty well also. I wish i would have gotten a size smaller though, but they are growin on me. BTW im 5'11" and got the 188's, mounted with Click for larger imageSTH14;s.

The line Blend are the most verstile skis out there, you can definitely ride the whole mountain groomers or pow or park with these bad boys.

My vote is for the bridges or for the S5s or obsethes. You are a lighter weight rider, and something like the P100s or blends may be overkill. All of thpse skis can hold their own in the park too.
