I was just wondering what you guys think are the best pair of skis that you can ride everyday and take them from the park to groomers and then go and ride some pow.

Depends on what you ski the most. If you spend most days seaching for Pow, I'd go with a Nordica Patron or a Faction 3.Zero. If you ski more in the Park, the Line Chronics and the Surface One Times would be god picks. If you want both, K2 Shreditor 102 or the Volkl Bridges are great.

Honestly, different skis can't be compared against eachother as One Ski Quivers. It all depends on the type of skier. Each different skiing personality can be matched with one ski, it just takes some searching.

the 4frnt cody or the line blend could work. If you can, you should just demo some skis to see what you like

Op it really comes down to your personal preference. But for just a recommendation for some skis that could do it all and wouldn't be too difficult to find in Australia.
Armada ARV, K2 kung fuja, Line blend, Volkl bridge to name a few. Start looking in online shops for skis down under.

They are pretty pow oriented but I live in the northwest so ski pow most of the time. They can hold an edge decently on groomers ( ski super short but hold an edge) and I can't speak about their park abilities

Ah gotcha I would stay away from the uh then. Icy is where they get a bit scary. Where in Australia. I'm going there in October

Sweet list, thanks. I've had my eye on some Jeronimo's but they're so damn expensive
