What i want to do with ski:

-Hit rails and be able to ollie onto high ones with light swing weight for easy spins switch ups etc
-Hit jumps with good stability, skis that are poppy off jumps
-Hit back country jumps
-Hit all mountain terrain (particularly hard pack, groomers, some pow)
-Easy quick turning preferred ( prefer rocker)
-Butters easy
-Presses easy


I was looking at surface green lifes anyone have an opinion on these or have tried them out? thanks and +k for suggesstions and any help thanks.

Armada Al Dente might work for you.

Butl I think you want too much from one ski. It's hard to find a ski which is stable and rockered, buttery and poppy at the same time.

The surface green life's are 100mm underfoot which is pretty wide if you are not skiing a decent amount of fresh in my opinion. Not sure if you are looking at the 2014 or 2013 but just so you know there is a big difference between the two. 2014 has early rise (rocker) in the tip and tail where the 2013 does not (full camber). Not sure where you are located but if 100mm waist is what your looking for here is what I would look at and in that order if you can afford them lol.
