70/30 ski

I need new skis for the season. I love pow and I think that's the funniest way of skiing. My only problem is that I live in a city where we got no big mountains near by. The only time I'm available to ski pow, is at my cabin four hours driving away. So I need a ski that I would use 70% in the park, and 30% pow.
I'm thinking about something like Line Chronic
Any suggestions?

Sorry for bad English, i'm from norway

The salomon 2012, fits for what your after pretty well, at 92mm underfoot with twin rocker, it rides pow much better then most narrow skis. It also craves really well so you can really push it hard both in and out of the park. In the park its fun. Not as good as a rgular camber ski pop wise, but it does stop you catching your tip and tail on spins. Overall if you want a ski to do well in pow your gfoing to lose some park performance.

I'd probably say the dps spoon....

But in all seriousness, you could look into the line blends, surface double times, salomon 2012s (like mentioned above), and the rossignol s5 jibs. Those are the choices I'd go for...

I have seen on s3. they won a powder/park test in FriFlyt last year. Are the 10/11 the same as 11/12?

Yes, with a new graphic.  The S3 is pretty much a 98mm waist version of the S7 and is a super versatile ski.  Another two skis to look at are the Rossignol Scimitar, the new version of the S5 Jib with full rocker, or the Scott Dozer.

For to sesonger siden var Chronic og Chronic cryptonite, nå er det bare sistnevnte igjen, og den har bytta navn til chronic tror jeg..

On3p Jeronimo bør også sjekkes ut forresten! http://on3pskis.com/products/jeronimo/
