east coast park means Onterrible and every year I make my way out to Tremblant. It would either be the 188 al dente (little nervous about how big it is but I'm assuming 178 is too small) the 185 soul rider or 185 blend. Im currently on the surface no times but something about a wider and softer ski is just getting to me

to have a super playful stick, go with the soul rider in a 177. if you ski outside the park and in the woods but still venture to the park, go with the 185.

id suggest mounting at their forward position but not anymore forward as its not a true twin and has rocker.

I would throw the Rossi S3 into the mix. Comes in a 186 and I loved them as a park ski.

that ski has the pow turn rocker. i dont think thats ideal for park. if you want to throw rossi into the mix, look to the scimitar, 99 under foot and utilizes the spin turn rocker making it better for park

im also considering the halo 2 and the filthy rich. The filthy rich i was really interested in at first but I'm not sure if its playful enough
