Help picking a ski for everything

I grew way too much over the summer and my slats are tiny on me unfortunately. They were fun for opening day and buttering around but i do not see them being ideal for the whole season as i will be skiing a lot more mountain this year as well as park. I would say 70 percent park and 30 percent mountain and powder. I am 5'9 140 pounds. I am also on a budget so i just want ideas. I have been looking around but i don't really have my eyes on anything yet. Anything helps

Forgot to mention, i also have an idea of just getting mid fat powder skis for when it snows and keep my slats for park because they are fun

id say just grab whatever high-90s waisted ski tickles your fancy the most. i use my 96 waist skis in pretty much anything from pure park days to pow
