I'm an aggressive skier looking for something that I can take all over the mountain. Bumps, trees,groomers, steeps, even park laps. Here are a few I'm interested in, K2 Poacher, ON3P 98, if I can get a good deal which is highly unlikely, K2 Recoil/Shreditor 92, 4FRNT Gaucho, Faction Soma, Faction Prodigy, Armada ARVti, any others??

Check the armada ARV series they have the 96 And I think the 106. 96 in my opinion is the better one allows you to ride park easier but still lets you have fun on the rest of the mountain whilst 106 you can still ride park but in my opinion way more irritated for all mountain.

Check out Jskis. They are basically made for the east.

The whipit is a nice flexy park oriented ski:

The masterblaster is more of a downhill ski but you could probably take it in the park too. The skis won a couple of awards too

Nailed it with your first two. ON3Ps if you can find them cheap enough, if not Poachers or ARVti 96 will suit nicely. The Shreditor 92/102 was combined is the design of the Poachers and they ski similar to the old Kung Fujas (read: fun/bombproof/sturdy).

The supernatural/blizzard options listed in the poll kick ass around the mountain although would struggle in the park. If you have an old set of beater park sticks for park days then looking at a directional chargy all-mountain ski like the blizzard bonafide, line supernatural + others would be my recommendation. Not everyone wants to swap skis for park laps but the gain in performance is worth it imo

So bonadides are decent? I saw a guy who destroyed his just by doing some blacks, no park. They look like pretty solid skis, just havent heard too much about em

There isn't a single mass produced ski I would trust more in terms of build quality and finish.
