might be getting an all mountain/pow ski and have done like no research on it only on park skis.
so with that said what is a good all mountain ski that i can take anywhere at a resort but also is great for pow days i was thinking about moments pb&j but i'm not sure also i do not want something stiff! i want something stiff enough to do groomers but i used to have volkl bridge and i hated it something about it it was so stiff and felt like just two 2by4's strapped to my feet. anyways i kinda want something wider than the pb&j aks for info about me
thanks +k for legit help

Whenever someone posts the question you are asking i reply the same every time: Sir Francis Bacon.
They are way more soft than you want but they can do everything on the mountain with no problem, minus bumps... but who cares about those. The softness makes it so playful there is no way you will have a bad time.

I recommend the blend or the sir Francis bacons. My friends got a pair of bacons and rips the groomer with them all day long.

Batalla All Mtns!!! seriously ask anyone who has ridden them (inc. bishop) They are some of the sickest skis on the market atm.

I have ridden mine everywhere, from park laps to big mtn comps in NZ and really was suprised how they handled.

yea lol i know stiff skis don't chatter but it was like a weird chatter prob cause some dumbass guy at some ski shop away from my hometown told me when i was 5'1 that the 172's would be fine so the probably chatter cause i'm so light so the tips are so far out that they have no weight on top of them
