So lately I have been looking at a decent amount of skis that i wanted to buy, I narrowed my search down to: Line Chronic, Armada El Rey, Armada ARV, and Moment Pb&j.  I am looking for an all mountain ski that holds strong in the park and on groomers, but can also venture out in some powder.  I spend about 60% of my time out of the park and 40% in the park.

Hi! I would definitely go for ARMADA EL REY cause it is strong in the park with nice pop for jumps but it has also a good radius to use outside the park... Still it is your choice...

I'm afraid I'm going to have to disagree with you there. If OP is riding 60% out of the park, he wouldn't want to be mounting a non-symmetrical ski at center. For pure park skiing maybe, that's a personally preference, but if he's spending more time out of the park, why compromise the skis carving/all mountain ability.

As for skis, I have never skied in PA or indeed anywhere on the east coast, so any ski I would for all mountain skiing in Pennsylvania would be unfounded.
