Lookong for a ski that can pretty much do it all.Shred the park, something that I can bri ng up to Jay Peak on a pow day, and something I can also tour with.
There are some pretty good deals going on right now so o figure I should take advantage of it.
Looking into surface live life, nordica soul rider, moment pb&j, fatypus l-toro, and even the dynastar cham 87, and atomic blog.
Have any thought?

I hope you dont plan on shredding any part of the park in chams. If you take park out of the equation, it would be easier to pick a ski, but it just seems unrealistic to ski park in touring bindings.

Anything but the Cham should be fine for all of that. Cham is fine outside of the park. Touring bindings in the park are OK as long as youre not doing it all the time. If youre only touring a few times a year (under 5) get Trekkers. If youre touring more, get duke/guardian/Adrenalines.

Yea sorry I didn't mention that earlier, I'm planning on using treekers, and I think I'm taking the chams out of the equation here

i've heard nothing but good things about the nordicas, from someone who does exactly that. he lives in new hampshire and has some of those heel-locking-almost-AT bindings and he says he loves them. not sure what bindings he has though

Worth Magics. Not cheap but fucking amazing and you get to specify lots of build details which is kick ass. They rip but are still agile as fuck and I love them for steep trees and sending shit. I will never not own a pair, nothing else I've been on does as many things so damn well.
