Hi!
I´m looking for a rockered park/BC ski. I think I´ll ski about 55% park, 40% BC and 5% Pist (most transport to the park or BC). I think a width between 90 to 100 mm would be alright :)
Skis i´ve been looking at for example are: Salomon 2012, Rossignol S3, Salomon Shogun, K2 Domain. I´m 163 cm tall (short) and weighs 60 kg´s. I´m 13 years old so I´ll grow alot in the coming years :)
I´ve specially looked at Salomon 2012 and I thought that 171 should be the best length choise, or what do you think? Where should i mount the bindings? Which binding do you think is the best for me?
Thanks, Daniel :)

Do you mean 179? There are no Salomon 2012 in 176 cm length but 171 cm fits me better so it doesn't matter :)

171 ON3P Jeronimo.  S3 would be a good choice also.

Okey, S3 and 2012 has been mostly reccommended. Is S3 nice in the park? It has 98 mm underfoot...

I think in this video Mike Douglas is shredding on 2012s so they are probably good. However, I have not ridden them so I dont really know.

171 ON3P Jeronimo or Salomon 2012. I wouldn't consider the S3, it is not very park-oriented at all.

ON3P Jeromino - 171

Was my first choice when looking for something similar but being in Europe hard to get a hold of so went for last seasons Kung Fujas.

K2 Kung Fujas - 169 - look at last years as well, similar flex but thinner waist - 95 vs 102

Bought last years myself and haven't had any problems at all.  Really versatile ski.  Skiing them in 2 feet of fresh, in the park and on the piste and they were damn good at them all. 

2012

Don't know much about them but will be a solid ski (unless they are like last years Suspects)...

Line Cyptonite would also work well if you like something stiffer.  Blend would be the other option from line, similar to this years Fujas.

Yes it is. The contact points on hard snow are where the ski is symmetrical, so you can ski it as well in the park as any other park ski but take it into the pow and have the same abilities of an all mountain ski. Rossi designed it specifically for this.

Line Sir Francis Bacon or the Blend are where it's at. I want a pair of Bacons so bad.

Dude, dunno what else to tell you, there have been a lot of good suggestions here. Past these, I can suggest a bunch of mid 90 underfoot skis from a bunch of smaller indies, but if you wanna get that specific, spend the time at exoticskis.com and browse till your content.

Yeah I know but 2012 is not in stock on the place where i found it for a nice price (europe). I cant find ON3P jeronimo in europe. S3 is an alternative, but I´m just wondering if Domain works out well in powder, offpist because it seems too be so nice in the park! :)

these! but probably too long, not sure if they are only coming out with one length. but they look awesome.

so other than that id look at the blend or kung fujas, from reviews ive heard the kung fujas might be the better ski, and it comes in a 169.
