Looking at buying some juicy planks to burn around on but need some advice from shredders that get snow coverage for more than 4 minutes a year (Australia).
I'm looking for the dream one ski quiver to service me for the 16/17 season in Canada and preferably twin tip.
"Triple Camber Technology adds twin micro-cambers within the center camber of the ski, restoring pop to the tip and tail and stiffening the overall profile of the ski while maintaining the loose feel of a rocker / camber design. In powder, the low center and rockered ends allow you to float and slash. On hardpack, the micro-cambers bite with focused pressure into the snow, making the shorter effective edge more effective in the turn. In variable conditions, Triple Camber adds confidence without making the ski sluggish or hard to initiate. Triple Camber Technology will take your skiing to the next level. Its the best of all worlds."

Uhh I aint about to do some fancy shit like the guy above me but ill recommend the Line SFB. Ive wrote a couple things on here saying that they didnt hold edge well and blah blah blah but after some more time on them (Nearing 40 days) I love them. They are 108 underfoot and fucking rip all mountain but fucking slay the park because they are light af and buttery. They are DEFINATELY not noodles like the shredator by any means but they have a mid flex that gives you the jibby feeling i like in a ski. I have mine mounted at Pollard's recommended (Between traditional and center) and they behave like a park ski (even thought they arent) which is kind of what I wanted. That being said, I have seen a bunch of dudes slay the west coast parks on SFBs and they hit shit no problem.
To conclude, this one ski quiver will do everything, park, all mtn, and pow and will definitely be a fun ski no matter what you do with it.
On3p Jeffrey 114, 4frnt YLE, I've owned both, and can comfortably I'd have no issue making either my everyday ski, and in fact last season I ran the Jeffrey 114 as an everyday ski here in Utah. They both hand everything surprisingly well for their size, float well in deep powder, charge when needed, but still maintain that playfulness people look for in a big twin.
I'm searching for a new pair myself and have set my sights on the Salomon Rocker 2 100. Obviously 100 underfoor which seems an ok compromise for both on piste and off piste. They are twin tip but not 100% symetrical from my understanding. The recommended binding placement is not exactly in the middle like dedicated park skis but rather slightly towards the back similar to classic skis i guess. They have a medium radius of 17,6 and from the info i got online they seemed to suit my needs which tbh don't really include park... motly groomers and pow (wherever i can find it). Most folks on here i'm sure can go into the technology of skis more so then me but there you go...

Cheers for the input dawg that's super helpful! I'm gonna give them a sus. Seems like Line skis are the way to go
Was ridiculously surprised at how well my surface outsiders crushed all mountain riding from groomers to 2+ ft of pow. Was a skeptic of the rocker but they are insanely fun. Especially in deeper snow/soft spring slush.

The rocker looks nuts on those sticks. Ta for the suggestion

Got them for $175 so to good to turn down. Seriously man...they are all mountain weapons. Thats how Surface advertises them and I Was skeptical but they really are. Definitely geared more towards west coast all mtn but so much fun I didn't touch my regular skis after using them
