Best All Around East Coast Park/ALL Mtn Twin

Looking to get a new pair of stix for my usual east coast groomers home range. I have been skiing for about 18 years and would say I am intermediate-advanced downhill bomber style aggressive skier. I am 6' 1" and weigh about 185lb with gear on.

Most of the time I will be all over the mountain and I try to stay out of the park and off the rails. I need a ski that will carve well and maintain good stability at speed as well as on large jumps. The problem lies in finding the right combination of stiff (camber / carving) VS. a playful (rockered / buttery) ski as I know that I won't completely be able to keep myself out of the park. I would say I am looking for a good (70/30) All Mtn-Park Combo. Yes I know this has been hit a bunch of times over this forum but a lot of info and recommendations have been for you guys that get a chance to ski some fresh POW. Price is not a concern. I just want something that is quality that will ski well for me.


Could you give me some recommendations on what skis are out there for me and as well as what size will work best. Below is a list of what skis I am looking at....

ALSO HOW MANY OF YOU GUYS ARE STILL RIPPIN ON CAMBERED TWINS IN THE PARK?

Moment-Vice
High Society-FR
High Society-Berzerk
Line-Chronic
ON3P-Prester
ON3P-Filthy Rich
Armada-AR7
Armada-Pipe Cleaner
Atomic-Theory
Atomic-Punx

Thanks yall

I looked at the ON3P Jeronimo but I am unsure how a 101 waist width would be on groomers. I only get a chance to ski on fresh out west maybe once a year so the majority is on the east coast on some groomed, ice, and occasionally some wet crud. I figured a little wider waist might give me a better platform for going big and a little better ease on the rails but I want to be able to absolutely SHRED bumps and all over the mountain.

Also I forgot to mention another contender I was looking at.

Liberty LTE
Liberty Sequence

this...no reason to look any further. if you are worried about a good all mountain ski there is no reason to get any narrower. i would even suggest jeffreys. I ride them everywhere in mi and they are my favorite skis of all time. on3p all mountain jib skis are #1 fuck the rest

The jmos are one of my favorite skis. They fucking slay trees, bumps (soft), and groomers. Shits fast. 101 is dope on rails, and they killed it in the handful of pow days on the east. Pm me if you be any specific question

Take a look at the arv ti as well if you want something stable at speed that will rip everywhere.

You guys really think the JMOS will blast the hard pack for carving and offer stability at high speeds and going big?

What do you guys think of the ON3P Prester, Liberty Sequence, Liberty LTE, Moment Tahoe, or Moment Vice?

AR7 is my pick. I've had a couple pairs and love them. We don't get a lot of pow over here so it's great all mtn for us
