I live in Vancouver and get at least 50 days at the local mountains and about 10 days at whistler. I'm currently skiing on Rossi s3 and im not sure if i should get some powder skis and use the s3 for park or buy park skis and use the s3 for pow.

get something in between. k2 kung fujas or line blend. maybe a sir francis bacon.

several companies offer good options that are good park and all mountain.

1 more for bacons, I got new ones this year, and they are amazing, I even had fun on them doing a little skiing in PA. They can handle anything, I have mine at -2 and they are even really fun on jumps

That doesn't make sense - the S3s he owns are already the something in between ski (they're almost exactly the same dims as the Kung Fujas and Blends). He wants to know what he should get in addition to those, something smaller or something bigger.

I'd say it just comes down to what you ski more. You want to ski more park use the S3s for pow and get park boards, or if you will be skiing more pow get something fatter. I'd always go fatter but then I ski way more pow than park.

Has noone read the fucking thread? OP already has skis almost the exact same dims as the Kung Fujas - he's looking for something different, not the same.

I would reccomend him the Rossi S3's, I have a pair, they're sweet, something sort of in the middle for park/andor pow.

get like a 100mm ski with early rise rocker, I have the fishcer mavens this year which are like 87 under foot and only have a bit of early rise, theyre good in the park, but theyre pretty mediocre in soft snow, and dont really have a ton of float. I had rockered s4s before them and they were great for most pow days apart from the really big dumps. So im thinking my next pair of park skis will be something along the lines of on3p jeronimos, or jeffreys. Or moment pb&js.

also ive got a pair of bibby pros which are awesome but theyre mounted with mfd touring plates 4 cm back from center, so theyre not the greatest in the park. But you should just get a pair of those and mount them closer to center, i think theyd be a sick park ski, and they would obviously still shred in pow.

You are skiing west coast concrete a lot of the time. Get fatter skis.

NO! You do not need a center mounted ski to ski park.
