I have a park ski (amplid syntax=best ever) but Im looking for a pow ski for pow skiing mainly. But I want to ski park with it when spring comes and makes the slope soft and slushy. The ski needs to have a rocker and be able to hold down in bigger jumps. So not too buttery...

So anyone who has skiied the ones I mentioned in the title or has another ski to recomend gets massive karma.

I'm 5,9' and 167lb.

The chopstick is a heavy ski, I wouldn't want to be throwing them around in the park. It also has a fairly dead feel to it, good for crud but not poppy.
Never ridden the flyswatter but it has far too much rocker to be good in the park.
Cholesterone wasn't light either but lighter than the chopstick.
If you want a rockered pow ski thats good in the park maybe bentchetlers would be a good option.

if you decide you want cholesterones, either 2009 RC or 2009 regular camber, let me know because i can probably score you a good deal

Surface one lifes.They are light and easy to buttery because of 3 stage rocker.but not to buttery because they have a stiffer flex.They hold up well with jumps and are great in pow.
