What would be the top 3 choices for everyone. I need some peoples two cents on this. I want an all mountain ski (park, bombing hills, etc) I have my race skis and powder skis but need something in between. (i did search for a while and couldnt find the answers i was looking for)

Thanks!

There is a search bar for all your needs up in the top right hand corner.

But, my two cents would have to be, Line blend, K2 Kung Fujas, possibly Atomic Thug, i know its fat but still slays liike a park ski, or the Elizabeth,if your shorter.

This year i wanted a ski for the entire mountain pow park etc... so i was thinking about getting the line blend but i ended up getting the S3's there 98 under foot with early rise tip and tail so i could mount the at +3 so they would be better in the park but still great in pow so i think the S3 would be better than getting the line blend

Line Elizabeth is my one ski quiver. It's super playful in the park, fun to carve and has the width to float in powder.

I sound like a Line ad but that's just because I love the skis.

Ive debated for awhile between the blends and the kung fujas, Mind you ive ridden only line skis since 2000, but i think im gonna have to go with the fujas, its is 5mm narrower but its rockered

Not to jack this thread but...

I can't decide between the Kung Fujas and Elizabeths.  I'm looking for a super fun and playful ski that slays pretty much everywhere.  Help?

I have skied a ton of all mountain style skis. I like the Armada Alpha 1. Amazing in the park and super fast with the race base ( I used to be a racer ) they are meant for the park but with the rocker tip and tail they perform in everything. Salomon Shoguns are one of the best for bombing the mountain. They are stiff so take that into consideration, but don't perform in the park as well. The Armada ARV would be the other ski that is in between the Alpha and the Shogun. If I were you I would go with the ALPHA. They are sick and rip hard and soft snow like no other ski. If you have any question PM. I have skied just about everything!

Personally, I think this year's Blends are WAY too stiff.  Thank God Line is softening them up for next year.

The ARV is my vote for the best do-it-all park/all mountain ski.  Super playful, yet stable at machshnell. And light.  Number dos would be the Cryptonite, followed by the Fujas.

I believe blends are going to have some rocker next year. Someone correct me if I'm wrong

You are correct. Small rocker, similar to this season's Kung Fujas.
