Why not get something that can handle both such as the sir francis bacon, blend, or arv.

I'll second the Afterbangs. Due to their skate deck construction, they float in pow surprisingly well for a skinny ski. They're also super duper light, because they never get waterlogged, so they're good for rail tricks, but they're also nice and stiff so you can huck doubles over 80 footers with no worries of washing out. Perfect do-it-all ski. Did I mention how durable they are?

What an original joke, you must be the first one to ever use it.

get something where the bindings are adjustable so when your in the park you can have them in the middle and when your in the pow, you can have them back. marker do some nice ones but i forgot what they're called.

I have the Sir Francis Bacon.........amazing ski. You can't go wrong with it. The blend is also great, the blend would do better in park.

How much park to you ski? If you ski close to equal amounts get something 100 to 110 underfoot. If you ski mostly park but still some pow something 90ish underfoot and if you ski mostly pow then something 110+ underfoot. Personal preference comes into play though so take this with a grain of salt
