I am six feet tall, one hundred and fifty pounds and i am going to Vermont next year for college. 
I want something with a rocker that is mid fat and can still hold its own in the park. I was hoping that maybe somebody on this site who lives in Vermont could give me a general idea as to what the best ski for skiing up there is.
thanks!

I'm gonna go right ahead and say next years Line Blends.

Mid fat, 182 length, mid flex....I played with them a little and they look rock solid.

or I know Kung Fujas are getting a make over.

I'm gonna say blends, kung fujas, s5. My friend has obsethed's and he loves them, but he also has a park ski. Still doesn't stop him from hitting everything in the park when he is on them though.

I'm gonna go ahead and suggest not to go to Bolton. It's just a tiny mountain with a crappy little park that is rarely maintained. Mad is great for all mountain skiing, everyone's just a big family there and though their season may be shorter they have some of the best all mountain terrain there is here on the ice coast. As for Jay, pretty big mountain and really fun if you know where to go on a pow day but the park is meh. And finally Stowe has one of the best parks in here in Vermont, they groom it every morning and make sure every feature is prime, there is an incredible flow to their jump lines which just keep getting bigger and bigger every year. They have great all mountain terrain too but you have to keep in mind that collage=little money and Stowe=ridiculous high priced pass


Oh fuck, after I typed all of that I remembered that because your going to school here you can get the triple major pass for like 250. FTW... well  maybe it will help someone... And I'm sure you'll have fun going to collage here, It really is a great place.

Go too Stowe just dont buy food there bring ramen or just pack a lunch there park is better than any of the other's listed there's more terrain and even though i think Jay has the best tree skiing on the EC and im sure a lot of people would agree id still say stowe and if i could suggest any ski it would be the Rossignol S4(the best park ski in the world IMO) but if you're really dead set on rocker or a wider ski i would say the S5 or S3 im not sure if the S5 has rocker though
