Twin tip advice

The closest mountain to my house basically only has groomers and terrain parks. Its not great but really convenient to get to so I spend a lot of time there. Two years ago i bought a pair of Atomic Blackeye Ti's because i had never spent much time in the terrain park. Toward the end of last season i started going in the park more and now I want a pair of twin tips to learn rails and jumps and stuff but they still definitely need to be good on the groomers.

I'm 5'11'' 160 lbs and a level 7 skier. Im looking for something stable at speed, good through crud, decent in the park, and because of east coast conditions it should be at least usable on ice but i know it wont be great cause its a twin

some skis ive started to look at are:
line chronic
line prophet 90
some armada skis
fischer addict
liberty morphic

i love to hear any feedback on any of these or suggestions for other to look at. Thanks

AR7s if you like more park than groomers. But if you spend like all of you time out of the park, get the Armada Triumphs or something. The triumphs are made for just skiing groomers, but I'm sure you could still use them in the park a little. If you like a little of both, get the El Rey.

I can tell ya that the 92 chronics(formerly known as the crypto)....is hands down my number three fav ski of all time....#'s 1 and 2 wouldn't work for ya....but the '12 chronics or previous years chronic cryptonites are perfect for exactly what ya want.....mount em -1 from dead center and enjoy.....amazing skis....they're for real magical.

Maybe go for skinny chronics? I've ridden them for a while in jersey and they're fine in the not so varied conditions here. They've got decent sidecut. In my experience sharp edges will help the most on ice, regardless of the ski (assuming it's not a fat ski or something). I'm only like 120lbs though, I've heard people say they're noodles but for me they have a medium flex, they're old now so they've softened up a bit. And they're quite poppy too.
