Hey Guys! I've been looking for some skis for a while and I'm looking for some do everything quiver of one skis. I'm don't really do powder. I'm open to your ideas but these are what cought my eye so far

scott punisher jib 2012????? (mabye)
salomon 2012
k2 revival 2011
k2 recoil 2012
Line chronic 2012


I don't just want a hybrid. I want a ski that could ski as a standalone pro park ski but also ski as a standalone professional allmountain ski.

The 2 I like from your list are the 2012 and chronic. Two other skis I'd look into is the ON3P jeronimo and Line blend

IMO, the el rays don't perform too well in pow. The ARV's are awesome in trees and handle fine in the park

This statement false and true....if you are referring to the old chronics than yes they were a bit soft BUT.....the chronic cryptos were stiffer and wider....now for '12 the new chronics are actually the cryptos so no they are not too soft....the OP said he weighs 120lbs and actually if he wanted the ski for 100% park I'd almost say the ski may be too stiff for that....but he wants an all mountain that kills park....well the new chronic is the perfect ski....I weigh 195lbs and I rode the chronic cryptos on everything and could even run em through the trees as long as the snow wasn't too heavy.....at no point did I ever say the ski was too soft.

You could do the blends no problem....in fact there's quite a trend of riding a wider ski even for park....heck remember the lizzies?....but anyway, I would only recommend the blends if you are intent on bombing smaller cliffs and runnin alot of trees....if your talkin about park and then just cruisin the rest of the groomers go chronic.....the blends a real fun ski though....it's kinda like a jack of all trades and a master if none....

Dammit it posted before I could finish.....but yeah at your weight I'm not sure how much you would love the blends for park....they're fully capable but take either someone heavy or really skilled to get the most out of them park-wise....you'd love em everywhere else though....I'd def say go chronics....jus watch some of the traveling circus vids....most of lines team rocks the chronics as an everyday ski.....they could ride anything line makes but they're always on the chronics....there's a reason for that....I loved mine.

Yeah wasn't knockin ya....figured you were talkin bout the old chronics....was jus droppin some info is all....think they weren't selling the regular chronic enough to keep it....most who would buy that ski just went a-banger cause it was cheaper so they jus made the new chronic based off the crypto specs cause that ski sold like hotcakes.
