I am looking for a ski that is fun in the park but can handle going out of the park and occasional back country kickers. I do 70/30 park to the rest and about 50/50 rails and jumps. I also want something that can handle bigger sized features.

Which volkl are you looking at? If its a similar size to the infamous then I would suggest to look else where. The infamous is a great soft jib park ski, but it would be useless for back country kickers. It carves well for a park ski but I would not call it an all mnt ski.

I would look at something more like the armada al dente or arv ti. Something around 100mm underfoot with some nose and possibly tail rocker. Choose a flex determined by if you want to be more jibby, or want to charge.

They are both very different skis. The volkl walls are stiff, while the infamous are much softer.
