JERONIMO as a park ski?

Okay so I am on a pair of halos right now and I love them except for the fact the i feel almost confined to the part when i ware them. The skis are just not that great around the mountain. So I was wondering if the Jeronimo's would be a better fit for me. I mainly stay in the park but its nice to lap some runs through out the day and when it only snow a couple inches be able to ski in that.
I'm 6" 1" and around 170
I ski at Park City

They're certainly wider than halos, and therefore a bit heavier, but other than that I think you'll enjoy them a lot more than your halos for all mountain and they'll still hd their own in the park (unless you hate stiff skis in the park...like they're not rocks, but they're also not really soft).

I see plenty of people doing it, they arent too soft but the rocker still makes them playful.

I ride the jeffreys in the park sometimes and they're so much fun. I assume the Jeronimos would make better park skis.

I did dead center for mostly park with some all-mountain (I'd say 90/10) they do still rip all mountain mounted at center.
