whatever.... Im 5'9 135lbs.... Very good skier.... Want the park skis for hitting lots of jibs... but also for hitting big jumps.... want powder skis, for trees, deep days, and backcountry

Norwalks. And you could go either way for the park ski based on what you said.

Okay between the punx vs Alpha 1 it comes down to Rocker or traditional camber. The flex about the same. If your planning to hit bigger features I say go punx. the trad camber will be more stable. The a1 will be able to butter on the rocker edges.
On the Norwalks vs BC it's comes down to Directioanl vs twin tip. Norwalks are directional. BC are twins. If you wanna ride switch in pow get BCs. I rode the TST last season (the smaller version). Felt okay but compared to other skis in the same catogory they felt weak. I think it has to do with Armada making all most all of their skis with the half cap half sandwich.
Hope this helps.

To add to 50Kal's comment, the BC is closer to the Armada Magic J than to the Norwalk. Magic J just seemed a bit softer in the shop.
