so i'm looking around for a new one ski quiver for next year. i ski at 7springs every weekend (which is east coast) and i'm an advanced skier out of the park and im 15 years old, 115 pounds, and 5 foot 5. im kinda new to park however i did catch on quick and love it so i need some twins that are playful and are 60% hardpacked, 30% park, and 10% powder (like a foot at the VERY most) 
any reccomendatons are good, and please add in why the reccomendation...thanks

kung fujas
line blend
liberty helix
rossi s6
salomon lord
dynastar big trouble
armada arv

they are all around 100 in the waist, have a medium flex and are designed for a 1 ski quiver that includes some park riding

My favorite of all these is the line blend.The only one i haven't ridden is the helix, but i've heard good things. Really all of them are fun skis that are pretty similar, i'd recommend that you just buy the cheapest.

no, anthems suck for riding hardpack. and if he gets a moment ski, the tahoe would be his best bet

if the pow isn't too deep you could use Armada AR6s, you just need to be a bit more skilled in the pow then most people are these days

Even tho you said you dont want to go above 86mm, i would DEFINATLY reccomend you to get Line Blends. They are 100mm waist, perfect for hardpack,crud,high speed shredding on groomers,very agile in pow,and great in park. They've got an amazing flex to them as well, not super stiff but not as soft as anthems or invaders. If i were in your situation i would definately go with blends, no questions asked.

yes atomic punx are a consideration...and 100 underfoot is just too much ski for me to handle, but line anthems are a serious consideration as well with the ar6..
