I live on the east coast and am a bit stuck in either getting new park skis, currently have dynastar distorters with squires, or getting a pair of wider/powder skis. I really want both but can probably only get one. Im 5'11" 150 lbs pretty advanced skiier but I don't always ski like it. With ski choices please leave binding choice too! Anything helps.

You need to include more info. Do you want park skis or pow skis recommended? What kind of skier are you (hard-charger, playful, jibby), and where on the east?

Both. I am not sure which ones I want. Im a pretty playful skiier but want a semi stiff ski, for park. I live in southern maine and ski all around maine and new hampshire.

Awesome, my cousins live up there too, right near Shawnee Peak, and Im up there all the time, so I know that area pretty well. I would get a mid 90's waisted park ski w some rocker like the K2 Shreditor 92, Faction Soma, or maybe the Atomic Theory. You can go wider too, but these will handle the occasional pow you guys get fairly well.
