Armada El Rays sound like they're you, if you want top performance in all-mountain as well.

you cant go wrong with el rays they have cap construction which will make the ski lighter and in case have great swing weight. this ski is perfect they are stiff for all mountain and are durable for rails and jumps. this is hornbecks go to ski. and for $400 you cant beat it. for bindings look into tyrolia peak 15, marker jesters, look pivot/ros fks 14. the tyrolias are really light and durable which is perfect for the el rays light skis light bind = perfect swing weight. um but definitely the best bind would be the pivots/fks cause the turntable heel-piece would save your legs, they are $$$ but worth it either you save the money on shitty bindings and get an expensive leg injury, or you get legit bind with barely any worries of getting injured
