What kind of binding are you planning on using? Trekkers would allow it to be fine in the park and suck in the BC, but any AT binding would make it great in the BC and suck in the park. It is pretty hard to get a ski for both disciplines.

I would not ski my AT setup in the park or a backyard session.

when you say "AT" do you really mean all-mountain?

if you're going to be aggressive with your AT setup, i would look at the Baron over the F12. it's a little heavier but the durability is much higher than the F series.
the F10/12 bindings are more for skiers that are doing multi-day trips and are doing 50% skiing and 50% climbing but don't want to get into Dynafits.

I'd go with something along the lines of some Atomic Rituals or last seasons Line Influence 105 (only like $350 right now) with Dukes. It would be a little expensive and heavy for touring but bomber all around and definitely able to shred anything. The Ti backbone in the Ritual and Influence will really help when the snow gets shitty and the skis wide enough/rockered enough to shred pow okay. If you are touring then don't go with a park oriented ski. These skis are quite underrated. I've seen some pretty legit lines shredded on them.

They work fine in the park. My brother skis the Influence 105 and can 540 them just fine.
All times are Eastern (-5)
