This is a great ski for charging hard in powder and backcountry conditions. It also chews up and spits out crud without a problem. The ski has a small turn radius so it turns easily but is stiff and responsive enough that it doesn't get sketchy at speeds. Having said that though, you mentioned you want to ski park with this ski. This ski has a setback sidecut which means your ski will be mounted further back than it would be with a typical all-mountain able to ski in park ski. The ski is also heavier due to its aluminum laminate. If you were only going to ski this ski outside of the park, I would get the 186. If you want it to also ski in the park..I would get a different ski. Here are some other skis I would recommend you check out: http://www.backcountry.com/k2-kung-fujas-alpine-ski http://www.backcountry.com/volkl-bridge-alpine-ski http://www.backcountry.com/line-blend-ski-lin0148 These 3 skis will be more playful, lighter, but still good enough to ski powder with. I would atleast check them out.
