Which is better overall? I will be doing 70% mountain skiing and 30% park skiing.

Which is better in pow? Can they charge and be stable at high speeds and carving? How buttery for park? Which is stiffer?

Just looking for any feedback on either of these skis

About me: 145 lbs and 5’ 11” and advanced skier on mountain and intermediate in park

Poachers sweet handle pretty well in the pow until you get them in anything over a foot of new snow then its a struggle but if it steep enough you can get bouncing around but I have destroyed them in just under 2 seasons idk if this is due to the amount of park skiing i do on them or the durability of the skis in general.
