I was looking for some all mountain skis that would do really well on the east coast with all the ice we get over here. 20% park - 80% all mountain. Help me out please!

I picked up the Volkl Kinks, haven't taken em out, but thats where I'd start. Good all-mountain directional twin tip.

Line Chronics are a pretty solid all around ski

Weight and height would help. Also previous skis you've had and what you liked and disliked about them would help. I've never rode on the east coast but I could imagine around 95-105 range could make it as all mountain ski there. So I would Kartel 98, Line Blend, Icelantic Nomad, K2 Shredditor 102, Salomon Rocker 100. These are skis I have all rode and felt would make great everyday skis here on the west coast.

Blizzard Regulator or Nordica Soul Rider. Both are really good all mountain skis that can also handle the park now and then

For most days...a 105 ski is just way to much for everyday use. Not saying many don't use skis as daily drivesr that wide. I just find it unnecessary. So much groomers/ice why would you give up carving ability

I have the SKNYs for the east coast, and wasn't super impressed with their performance in icy early season conditions (however if you are a good skier you will be fine!) but they absolutely rip in decent conditions. Great ski, fun, super light and poppy too. All mountain twins. I'd take a look at them, and feel free to PM me if you have any questions.
