I need to buy some all-mountain skis, that are also decent in the park. Any ideas?

Fischer Addict (pros)

they charge like non other, so stable. they are also symmetrical so park and switch is mad fun. i have them mounted -2 (even though they are symmetrical it works awesome) and i love them. i don't ski that much park, maybe 15%, and i love them for doing what ever (they arent the best for pow though...)

I'd like to know what you guys think about this too. Been riding some classic 1080 foils (yup, the gunmetal/white ones) and I don't want to completely destroy them. Thinking about new 1080's or blends. Never heard much about armada or their ar6.

ar6s are soooo fun. they are stiff enough to hold an edge all around the mountain, but they have a very even, smooth flex pattern... they are great for jumps (never wash out) and are still super fun on rails

dont get the tahoes i had them this year and they are more of a powder all mountain ski than a park all mountain ski
they are really stiff and i ripped out bindings on both skis this year not even crashing just making turns
so yeah i would go with the chronics or ar6s

Most of the skis posted in this thread are park skis.
That said, S5s are an epic pair of all mountain twins, pretty stiff, pretty burly, but so much fun to ride. Stable on anything, stomp anything, spin well, and enough width to shred pow but still light enough for spinning. If you want a real all mountain twin I would definitely recommend S5s.

Volkl Gotama.

Epic, its a perfect ski. wide and soft enough to be super playful in the powder, but stiff enough that there's no speed limit due to vibrations. They're great, check out my review of them.
