So I'm a little stuck. Planning for the future because my season is over and I'm already thinking for next season. Thsee are going to be used primarily for college out west but I will be doing some park on them. Here's what I'm thinking of now for a ski to be able to handle a little powder, ski the mountain, and ride the park

Surface Outsider 179
KF Layzerblade 105 (new for next season)175
Salomon Rocker 108 176?

Stats
5'7 (I'm growing though so size for things is a little iffy for now)
130lbs
I ski similarly to Wabs or at least strive to be lol

Amplid Rockwell/Multiplayer, most impressive one ski quivers I've used this season.

I've got the Salomon Rocker2 100's and I love them for just about everything. If you think you'll be in the park and/or ripping groomers more than pow I'd recommend them over the 108's, but if you prefer a wider ski the 108 has the same overall shape so I would recommend it as well.

Moment PB&J, 101 underfoot with early rise in the tip / tail. Great for an all mountain / park cross over ski, while still being wide enough to handle most west coast pow.

Im kind of in the same boat bro. Worth looking into something like ON3P kartel 98's or even Icelantic da'nollies or nomads if you want something a bit more playful. Ive heard good things about faction skis swell (Candide 2.0 and prodigy). They all might be a bit narrow and more park orientated for what your looking for but hope this helps.

IM riding a pair of Vice's and love em, but don't want another ski exactly like them because I honestly want just something different to ride, and they are maybe a little thin. I love my Moments I have though. Death wish were on my mind but I wasn't sure about park performance.

Kartel 98s and Da Nollies are both a little thin, and I actually own a pair of Da Nollies atm. I guess I could think about nomads. Id probably look into the Faction 3.0 versus 2.0, and Kartel 106 versus 98. Thanks for the suggestions though

I have the Rocker2 108 and its a pretty soft, buttery ski, but it holds an edge on groomers surprisingly well. Float good in powder and are fun in the park.
