seems like every company out there makes an all mtn park ski that rips. Honestly if you aren't super set on what you want, just surf the net for deals on like 80-90 mm waisted park skis and go with the best deal. Ideally ride as many skis out there via demos or friends or whatever and get the feel of each ski and find one you want. But a lot of what you end up liking is what you get comfortable riding anyway... would help if we knew anything about your height/weight/style of riding etc...

I'm 5'10 140 lbs and I'm a pretty advanced skier. I'm a beginner in the park but i def want to get better there. And I live by Tahoe so the pow is amazing and I need a good ski for that too.

Well ur gonna have to sacrifice a little ability in the park to get float, but that being said, if u want a soft buttery ski I would go with the 183 blend. If u r planning on hitting a bunch of kickers, I would look in to the 185 arv. Def would not go any skinnier than 90ish, but I would think that those two should have u covered

12' bacons....if you can't rip park on those you can't do park on anything....they remind me of a wider crypto with early rise/taper....that thing will be perfect for Tahoe.
