Hey guys I'm in need of some new skis for the next couple of seasons, as my AR7's from like 3 years ago will no longer do the job. I need some all mountain skis, in the 166-171 cm size range. I'm a ski instructor, but other than that I mostly just ski park, but I will make a couple trips to the mountains this year so the skis have to be good for powder and mountain skiing too. Price range is like $400-600. Just looking for some suggestions on what would be the best skis. Thanks guys.

My go-to skis are on3p jeronimos. They do it all, but unless you're like 5 foot 0, I would go longer. I am 5'7", 140 lbs and all my skis are between 181 and 188.

Seths are okay if youre stronger in the park because they are heavy. Jmos or maybe Deathwishes

You can't go wrong with kung fujas.

Line Blends, shred everything and can handle their own in the park as well.

Also if you're looking for more of a park ski, but want to keep the early rise, I'd go with the Chronics. I love both of them.

Get some Elan skis. The Puzzle TBT is sick and can be had for $300. Same company that makes 4FRNT's skis and they also have some pretty sick technology in their skis. The build quality is superb too.
