Shows how much I know, Bandit! I must just be used to skiing heavy skis because after my Tigersharks, these things feel like nothing! :D I only weigh 150 lbs. I'm certainly not an expert in the park, but I can do a flatland 180 with my 172's.

The best thing you can do is try a few different skis and form some opinions for yourself.

'Park performance' in comparison to 'all mountain performance' is sorta like wanting your formula 1 car to also rally well, you will have to compromise somewhere.

I have found my Armada ARVs and my Dynastar Trouble Makers of old to be reasonable compromises. ARV with more of a bias towards all-mountain performance and the Trouble Makers more of a park bias.

I prefer the ARVs for what it is worth.

Get to a snowdome and try some out!

Bearing in mind guys I'm a beginner in the park and want to progress, by slope and pow skills are good but definitely got a lot of things to learn, so i want something stable yet playful with the park and mountain and twin tip :)
