I just wanted to see peoples opinion on what was the best ski for Park and Groomers (not all-mountain ski, because I'm not considering powder) this season. Oh, and account for weight, flexibility and pop.

The thing about the chronics is that they suck for butters...

AR6's were designed to be able to ski EVERYWHERE, and they do a really good job, excellent ski all around. Also, ON3P Jeronimo's are also designed to go everywhere and it will be my All-Mountain ski (with some park) next year, I'd definitely look into that.

The thing is, I wont ski powder on my groomers/park skis and I wanted one that was good for carving on the groomers, do butters and hit rails. Will the Abangs do the job?

I love my line blends. poppy, but solid... park skis always seem like kids play toys to me, these feel solid

But don't expect any park ski that's mounte at center to be AMAZING on groomers if your a good skier they will be great. Get afterbang or anthems they sound like good choices.

I found next year’s chronics to butter just fine, but then again I am a little bigger than the kind of person that should be skiing them. I would love to try out the S3's they look like a sick park/all mountain ski.
