I want a ski that can handle many park laps but also can rip up groomers and light pow. Need some advice from fellow NSer's.

My choices so far:
Line - Chronic
Armada - Alpha X
Armada - Al Dente
Volkl - Bridge
Moment - Tahoe


Any input would be appreciated

The tahoe has a flatter tail, so for park laps, you can take that one off your list. What kind of park skiing and all/mtn skiing do u do, because there are loads of versatile freestyle skis out there.

I dont really get too technical, I hit rails mostly and just try to be as smooth and clean as possible.

From what it sounds like, you need a durable ski with a little rocker for versatility. Check out the K2 Recoil, which is bombproof and pretty stiff, so it holds a god edge on groomers, the Alpha's, and the Faction Somas, which are a little more playful than the recoils, but crush it in all conditions.
