Sup NS,
I'm torn between a bunch of skis as you can see.

I am 5'11 135lbs and ski primarily in PA park and groomers, but go to Vermont (Mad River and Sugarbush) every year as well as a potential trip out west. I am looking for a ski that i can shred in the park and still do incredibly well on the hardpack, moguls, and even some pow. Any other suggestions?

Thanks for the help!!

Filthy Rich and Al Dente sound great for you. Soul Riders would be pretty good too, JMOs are alright in the park but definitely more of an all mountain ski than the others..

I know quite a few folks who ride JMO's in the park and LOVE em, they're just a bit stiffer then FR's. If OP's looking for a park ski that will do well in a little pow and all over the mountain, go with either Al Dente's or Soul Riders. Both are extremely butter, the Al Dente has a softer nose thats gret for popping, nose manuels and all those fun tricks.
