First off im about 5'11, 175 pounds.
I want a ski that will be my all around ski.
i ski 30% park, 40% groomed, and the rest is just screwing around in the glades area.
A twin tip
I was thinking about the volkyl wall but dont no how well it would preform on everything outside the park.
I ride the suspects now, not the biggest fan but it held up, but  on the groomers i felt a little unbalanced sometimes.
If anyone has any recommendations on what i should look into it would be appreciated.
Thanks

maybe like the Blends or PB&J's or just anything with around 100 undefoot sounds like what you would like.

I would have to go ARV, but either way, blends are sweet ARVs are sweet

out of everything mentioned I would have to go with PB&Js though

This is narrower than mentioned but the armada el Rey is great for all mountain and for the occasional park and it is extremely affordable on the bright side although the downside is it isn't too wide pretty much same as suspects I think

Right now actualy i have the 2010 suspect, but like you said i would like a wider ski, because im slowly drifting away from the park to ride what the other part of the mountan has to offer.   Not going to fully get rid of park skiing so thats why i want a ski that will hold up when i do decide to hit the park.

I think right now im stuck between the blends and arvs.
