looking for a park ski but the only caveat is for the upcoming southern hemisphere season i’ll be working on a mountain with no park so basically looking for something that will be enjoyable jibbing natural features as well
i’m about 178cm 85ish kg or 5’10 185 in freedom units
options are as follows
22/23 edollo in 180 612usd
24/25 blend will wesson in 180 653usd
24/25 line tw in 178 353usd
24/25 line chronic 94 in 178 or 185(?) 388usd
24/25 k2 omen in 177 388usd
any opinion on the options would be much appreciated

Well definably not the Blends if you want any all mountain performance. The Dollo's really surprised me with their all mountain ability. Great balance of being able to charge hard and rip groomers while still being fun to nose butter around and stuff. The tail of the dollos is quite stiff allowing it do well on big freeride hits. Also the Dollo probably has the best powder shovel of those choices too. My bias is that I'm just not a fan of line skis and I don't know much about those particular K2s.
With any choice, make sure you keep the edges sharp for your summer season then detune the shit out of them before you start riding park next year.

If you want a versatile, stable board that's fun to ride on natural terrain, has a light jib, but is still stable enough to carve and stay stable at high speeds, the Line Chronic 94 (185cm) is the best choice at the most reasonable price.
