i'm currently skiing on a pair of 08/09 salomon suspects that my friend had given me to learn in the park (i suppose i got a lucky pair because no severe damage thus far.) i'm looking for a ski that is good all-mountain and in the park as well. i'm only a beginner in park and i'm about 6'0 and 165 lbs. +K for help.

Nordica Dead Money

I have last year's model. Great for all-mountain downhill. My situation is similar to yours, and they're facilitating my transition into park pretty well.

K2 Sights are 70% all mtn. and 30% park and are really durable. Those might be good.

But I recommend Line Chronics because they are super perfect for all mtn. because of their wider underfoot width. They are also great in the park and have been used in many contests.
