A little background. Havent skied much in the past 3 years b/c of college track, but used to ski basically all park in PA. Worked park crew/ ski instructor all through high school and skied 70-90 days a year. Went out west/ up to new england resorts for about 10 of these per year. Used to ride 181 ar5s centermounted for reference (this was 4 years ago).

Now that I dont have to run, im looking to buy new skis but have no idea whats going on with the new stuff. Basically looking for a ski that I will be able to ski anything with. Ill be skiing like 20-30 days a year with 10 out west and 20 east coast resorts. Basically an all mountain ski that I can bring out if it snows and can also butter and throw random shit around the mountain on. Any suggestions?

Thanks for your help.

From experience, Line Blends, this year that have some rocker, so more buttery, 100mm waist. Can't go wrong.

It depends on whether or not you want to get back into park a lot more or do more all-mountain.

For all-mountain: ON3P Jeronimos
For park: Armada AR7

Those would be my top two choices for anything all-mountain or park wise.  I've never owned a pure park ski though, but the AR7 is pretty close to being that, don't own it though.

Neither of them are "pure" park skis.  It's just the AR7 is more park oriented than the Jmo.  You really can't go wrong with either, judging by reviews.
