this is another thread to get some more opinions, anyways i ski volkl walls and want something a little more soft and playful and wider. 90-110 underfoot, super durable, and i want something to take all over the mountain. i live on the east and go out west for like a month or more every year so i ski everything from park to powder to ice to trees whatever. help? ive thought moment rockers might be the way to go, any opinions

i know this year's obsethed is great. also, the kung fujas always gets sick reviews for this sort of "allmountain" catagory. id say the obsethed though its 107 underfoot, and ive seen guys kill it in the park on it. they are stiffening up the tail and removing tail rocker on next years so this years and last years obsetheds are your best bet imo

Or even Anthems if you can't really afford Lizzies, cause they go everywhere too, and are soft, and super fun.

with hellbent front rocker and stiff tails... proper charging ski for the man.

Id say the kung fujas for you... would be a good choice
