I need some help. It is almost time to buy new skis. I have narrowed the list down to 5.

Here are my specks:

5'8, 125 pounds, been skiing for as long as I can remember. I would rate myself as an aggresive skier.

I need a ski that can handly: steeps, powder, drops, fast groomers, bc kickers, and relitively light weight for hiking, quick handling for trees, straight lines down steep mogul runs. I go in the park once a month, so it doesn't matter. I need full honesty. If someone thinks a ski sucks, and why, say so! I don't mind waiting for next years releases. any binding help is appreciated to.
Here they are:
1. K2 Seth Vicious
2. Volkl Mantra
3. Volkl Gotama
4. Rossi Scratch BC
5. Atomic Sugar Daddy

Thanks

First of all, all these skis are way way to huge for your size and weight, especialy the K2, the sug daddys are your best bet, but you would use those on groomers, andimpossible on moguls, but if your into strict BC, then they are great, but you will need the smallest size they got

Those are all pretty big man skis and you are a little man. You seem to be looking for something wide. Maybe Chronic wide or elizebeths.
