Hey Stefan,
This ski is light, poppy and have a durable base and sidewalls (for slamming on rails). It's not as wide as this years' skis, and isn't rockered like them, so it will carve on the groomers as well. And, sweet price, so they would definitely work.
This years skis, though, might be even better for you (if you can afford them). They added waist width to almost everything, so they will float better in the powder. And in both the powder skis and the freestyle skis, they added rocker. Rocker helps not catch an edge when you are doing tricks, and keeps your tip up in deep powder.
Hope that helps,
Melissa

Because you want to be able to rip pow and the park, i will actually point you to
. They are wide enough to let you float in the powder, but will huge upturned tails will let you stomp the landings.
I am not sure how experienced you are but you could get the 186 if you are very experienced.
If you want a more park designated ski you can get the stl. No ski will really do what you want very well so you will need to decide if park or pow is more important.

Hi again Stefan,
I still think you should get some boards from this years line-up if you can. I think the rockered design and the wider waist widths will help you in the park and the pow. They won't perform as well as a cambered ski on the groomers, but you are going to have to make a sacrifice somewhere. What about the:

Check out what K2's website says for each. The Kung Fugas are like 50/50 park/pow. The Domain are more like 80/20. It just depends what you want out of the ski. Any kind of rocker will help in the pow. The jib rocker is going to be better for the park and for landing spin tricks; the AT rocker will be better for carving.
