Pretty much every company has an all mountain park ski that is decent

You dont have a refined enough explanation of what you want want in a ski for NS to give you individual models that fit your taste, How flexible? Symmetrical? What do you mostly do in park? How much park do you ski compared to all mountain? Will you be skiing any pow? How much money are you willing to spend?

You could look into the extreme for all mountain, and most of the k2 skis coming out next year look pretty sick for parkwise,

Wow you nub.

And why do you need a park and an all mountain ski? Just get a park ski and ski it all mountain or get an all mountain ski and ski it in the park. No need for two skis that are going to be similar in dimensions.

Seriously, I skied my anthems for a week long trip to utah, we got 7 feet of snow and it was the best experience of my life.

Fuck floating in pow I wanna be buried in it.

But the whole idea that a park ski cannot double as an all mountain ski is sort of stupid in my opinion. Symetrical skis work outside the park, they won't explode.

Why the fuck would you spend money on 2 different skis when you could just get one ski like the jmo that does both. And if you are that set on getting two brand new sets of skis why wouldn't you separate it into an all mountain park combo and a nice pair of pow skis.
