    Help me complete my quiver!

    Here's what I currently have:

    190 Armada Magic J for deep resort days/sled skiing
    192 Armada TST with Dukes for touring
    181 Armada AR7 for the park and when it hasn't snowed in weeks

    Here's what I need:

    An all-mountain twin tip for those days that we get a little fresh snow (3-6) and I want to ski all over the mountain in the morning and take a few laps through the park in the afternoon. Ideally, this ski will have some rocker (whether full rocker or rocker-camber-rocker doesn't matter) and won't be wider than 108 in the waist.

    I've looked at the Rossi Scimitar (enough float?), Line Sir Francis Bacon (too soft for me at 6'1'' 180lbs?), and Atomic Blog (just too boring?) and can't come up with that 'perfect' ski to round out my quiver.

    What do you guys think of the ones I listed? Any others come to mind?
    go upside down.

    Moment PB$J could possibly work. What are you looking for though? Something that is more symetrical than the TST? Everything seems to be covered otherwise.

    ON3P Jeronimo or PB&J seem to fit the bill. But both are a little stiffer for riding the park. Read blister's review of both for more info. I would go 186/188 for your size and purpose, particularly since you already have a park ski.

    I need to go to Utah.
    Utah?
    Yeah, Utah. It's wedged in between Wyoming and Nevada. You've seen pictures of it, right?

    So after 15 years we finally made it to Utah.....


    Thanks BCSAR and POWMOW Ski Patrol for rescues

    formerly an ambassador for a few others, but the ski industry is... interesting.
    Fukt: a very small amount of snow.

    Had a feeling I'd get called on that.

    I'm down to the following:

    ON3P Jeffrey - seems real versatile, but maybe too powder oriented seeing as I have the Magic J?
    ON3P Jeronimo - leaning towards this as it is narrow enough for park, but has the rocker to provide float when there's a little fresh?
    Rossignol Scimitar - Similar to the Jeronimo, but less expensive?
    go upside down.

    ^^ You can always call the ON3P factory and see what they recommends re: Jeffrey v. Jeronimo.

    Not soft. They do get soft-er in the tip and tail, but underfoot is a stiff camber platform. Perfect for your intended use, really.
