want a ski that allows me to ski all over the mountain and lets me progress as a skier. I ski at jay peak every weekend.I mostlyski natural bump runs and trees which have soft snow most of the year. The only problem is that there is ice and rocks mixed in.I want a ski that excels in moguls, trees, and a littlepow. The ski also needs to be stable because i will be on groomers during the early and late season. I like the rocker camber rockerprofile, I dont ski much park just a few jumps once and a while and never any rails. I am an intermediate to advanced skier. I dont ski superhard through trees and bumpsbut keep a good flowy pace through them.

So heres what im looking for an all mtn ski with a 90-110 width and a medium flex. I want a playful ski.I am 5' 11" andweigh 150. I am 16 years old. What ski is right for me.

Skisim considering

Line sir francis bacon(my top choice as of now)
Line blend
rossignol sin7
Salomon rocker 108
Moment pband j(dont really trust this brand because i havent heard a lot about them)

I would love to hear from people who ski the east of who have skied any of the skis i mentioned above

Im not sure if theese skis seem to wide for my circumstances but ive been skiing on a 170 dollar 75 mm waisted park ski and need to upgrade because i dont ski park.(it was i could afford)

Any suggestions?

Blizzard Peacemaker. Perfect ski for you. Rocker-Camber-Rocker, 104 underfoot, nice and playful but can still charge. Check it.

I'm looking at a similar type of ski as well for next season (allmountain, rocker/camber/rocker, around 100 waist) and my top choice is the pb&j. I have heard things about there durability being an issue but I don't plan on taking those into the trees. I usually use crappy skis for trees so if that is a concern than I'm sure there's a bunch of other similar skis. Warning on the SFB, I don't like how there is really not a ton of rocker
