Which skis to get for an advanced skier (experienced advice would be especially appreciated)?
I am an advanced skier (15+ years of experience), and its about time for a new set of skis, but I am having a bit of trouble finding exactly what im looking for. I want skis that will firstly handle well in powder and off piste, second most importantly handle well on the slopes and groomed trails. An important note is that the skis I want should be able to handle occasional terrain park runs, and have at least a somewhat upturned tail end. Based on these criteria I've concentrated my search on the freeride and then all-mountain category of skis.
An idea of skis I've look at are Rossignol Phantoms SC80, SC87 and SC97, Volkl Bridge, Nordica Nemisis. Price is not an issue but less than 850 would be nice. I am partial to Rossignol, but any of the top brands are fine.
All input and advice is welcome... bring it on.
To start out, you really have to choose. Its EITHER park and pow OR Pow and Piste. You can't have all 3 in 1 ski.
I would recommend a pair of Dynastar Legend Pro Rider's. They are great in the pow(IF its mostly pow, go for the XXL's) and are still very solid in the groomers. The obviously aren't made for the park.

If you want a park alternative, go for some Liberty Helix's, or any other twin named so far. They are really light weight because of the bamboo core so you can easily jump with them.
