what is your favorite all around tele ski

[shapp]

Looking to get a new pair of skis

 

I have read the literature,

What is your real world favorite all around tele ski (if you could have just 1 pair) for:

 

crud, pow, groomers

 

60% lifts, 40% backcountry

My Havocs have served me well as an all around in-bounds and backcountry ski. I've also had K2 Super Stinx and Atomic 10EXs, both of which I've sold as I found the Havocs more enjoyable to ski in a variety of conditions. I still have a pair of World Pistes that I use when I'm doing more touring than turning, but the Havocs are now my day-to-day ski.

World Piste

BD Crossbows, though the Havocs seem a great choice as well.

Havocs are nice. My next set will be the verdicts, however.

my favorite tele ski is a snowboard.

Thanks for the comment, but I would really like to keep this on-topic. P.S. I pretty much know all there is about snowboarding, I started snowboarding in 1988 and also used to race, but started to ski when my wife learned to ski in about 2000 so we could be at the same level, still bust out the board on epic pow days inbounds!

Atomic RT86's 2007 model rocks!

I haven't tried a ton of them, but my suggestion is to match what your activity will be. I'm a powderhound, so went with a ski for that, K2 Baker.

 

It also does fine in the other stuff.

I have TM-X's and last year's Verdict right now. My next ski will be the RT86's. Those are my favorite skis out of the new line-up this year. If you like wood core skis check out the G3 Barons / Reverends or the K2 Work Stinx.
