Buttery all mountain tool

My double times are getting pretty thrashed and they are just too stiff for me so I'm looking for a buttery ski that i can take all over the mountain. So far i found the liberty sequence, rossignol slat, surface daily or the shreditor 102. I am 5,5 and 130 pounds. Im pretty small so i don't want something that is super heavy or stiff that i can't really handle. Am i on the right track or is there something else better for me? +k for any helpful replies or suggestions. Thanks

Hmm. I would say that any more immature park ski would be fine such as what you mentioned above: the slat, the shredditor and most k2 skis are going to be stiffer. Currently I have the 4frnt switchblades in 166 and they are pretty soft. I have almost the same height and weight as you. Also the rockered armada skis such as the Halo (now the Bdog) or the al dente are great but they are not cambered so they do not carve as well as a traditional camber ski. If you are confused by 'immature' park ski I mean anything that is not a comp specific ski such as the Volkl Wall, Salomon NFX, or the Armada Pipe Cleaner. My best recommendation for a good all around park- all terrain ski is probably the Atomic Infamous. They carve really well and they are a pretty soft ski With camber underfoot and rocker I tip and tail. I have skied both and I just like the 4frnt switchblade more because they are more durable thhey are stiffer, and I got them cheaper.
Hope that helps
Marcus
