An all-mountain ski.

60% on piste 30% off-piste 10% park(rails primarily)

Jibby(ish) style.

6' 1"

130 Lbs

Advanced all-mountain skier.

Intermediate/advanced park skier.

I ski Norway/Sweden, France and Austria.

I have skied the infamous until now. Good on piste and in the park, but not really suited for off-piste...

I have no budget...

Thinking of Rossi Slat(is it heavy?) or Faction CT 2.0 (little intimidated by the width and edge-hold)

Sorry about the generic "What ski should I buy" post, but this is the biggest hub for gear freaks.

kartel 106 might be a ski to look at, also the Line Sir Francis Bacon would probably be a good choice as well.

I would love a pair of ON3Ps, but sadly I can't really find any shop that sells their gear (Most haven't really heard of ON3P in Denmark)

Here's what I can buy through Evo:

Anything in the 100-105 range like the line blends, moment pb&js, icelantic nomads or faction candide 2.0 would work well

This summer I was shopping for an all mountain ski and did a fairly thorough survey of the options. When I get home from work I can post a spreadsheet I made that outlined all the factors I was concerned about. You may find it helpful.

Get the Slats. Great all mountain performance, stiff enough to handle some big run outs, and good in the park. I skied them in France this last spring and they worked well in a lot of different conditions. Also cool topsheets. And you need to gain some weight.

Sorry its a couple days late, but this is the spreadsheet I came up with. Keep in mind I didn't make this with the intention of sharing it, so its totally subjective based on how I was feeling at the time.
The skis are all between 100-110, have rocker, and are something I thought looked cool.
