Next year I will need new skis. I need your thoughts and opinions.

IM 5'9" and by next winter ill be 5'11" or so, and I am 140 pounds

I live in the east, so I'lll need a pretty sturdy ski, and all mountain.

I ski park and would also want a buttery ski to. I know its hard to find both, but if theres any combination of all mountain and buttery ski thatd fit me perfect.

I dont care what brand, but another thing I'd like would be lightness.

let me know your suggestions

You should check out Line Chronics. They are pretty stiff, and are amazing on jumps and are also a good all mountain ski. If you want a little more width, look at the Chronic Kryponite

the Line Afterbang is good for stomping bigger jumps and will slay rails. it is also not a stiff as the chronic so you will be able to do some jibbing around the hill.

ok idk wats with all the i want light skis lately but whatev. I would agree with the afterbangs the anthems would also probably be a good choice however a little on the noodly side. you could also look into some volkl walls a lil stiff maybe.

they softened up the walls a lot this year, so much nicer than the previous 2 years

i currently have the line chronics and I loved them. they were stiff the first year i had them, but this season I really broke them in and I love them. I was thinking about the afterbangs, I've heard pretty great things about them
