Can shred park when the snow is hard but are also good in tree's and powder when theyre available.

So far im thinking of the salomon 2012 but other suggestions would be appreciated.

5'5" 140lbs

90% 10% all mountain (only because my home resort doesnt have good all mountain)

when i travel to larger hills OR it dumps at my hill im...

50% 50%

Looking for something pretty close to symmetrical, 90-95mm waist.

I have a few buds that like myself used to rock the chronic cryptos for exactly what your asking.....and both of them are going to use this years bacons for that. It's wider and more pow oriented but word is with the new sidecut they rip groomers and alot of these guys are gonna start rockin em for the 50/50 park/all mountain type stuff. Obviously they aren't going to be a super technical park ski but if the biggest thing your throwin is 5's anyway, I'd def consider em.

Look at the surface watch life, volkl bridge, salomon 2012, chronic, K2 Recoil.

All those are 90+ underfoot but will still kill it in the park, look at the surface though because it rocks.

Shoot....the surface doubletimes are even pretty impressive in pow. I ride my buds through the trees in a 2' storm and was way impressed with how capable they were. That wide shovel really gets em floating.

Yep even the double time would kill it through the trees and still in the park. I would recommend checking that ski out for sure as well.
