A pure park ski? A groomer ski? AT setup?

id get an AT set up...those two skis cover basically everything i would wanna ski out west.

a groomer ski is out of the question...u have a dope powder/tree ski, and a dope charging/all round shredder...what else do u need? the seth is so fun for the park!

if u are looking for a park ski u can throw around a lil more...maybe something like an ar6, afterbang, punx, dumont, etc.

anthems
antidogma
reno jib/rocker
ar6

definitely an AT setup, get a fairly light ski with freeride+ bindings, you could rock dynafits but that's only if you're doing long tours. if you already have jj's then dukes on any on any other ski would be somewhat overkill but look into something around 100 underfoot with freerides on them

i know tom (mrstskier) has ridden the afterbangs and he said they're super sick, pm him for more info on them. i've heard the seths are sick in park so you should probably go for a touring ski
just think instead of having to bootback flute couloir you can skin it for 15 mins and lap it all day

wwll an AT setup is pretty expensive and i think i can only get some cheaper. they said theyll hook me up with dukes but no skis, cos dukes are expensive. should i get the dukes and remount my JJ's with them?

dont get anything, mount seths -2 and ski JJ's wherever

that way you have an all mountain/ BM/ park ski and a good pow/ tree ski

if anything get dukes and try to pick up some coombas or something for cheap
