I am an aggressive skier who has snowboarded for a few years but would occasionally bring out the skis as I will never completely give up one or the other. Now I am itching to get back on some boards and am trying to figure out what I should get. 5'10" 160.... and looking at Mantra, Snoop Daddy, and Rossi Sin 5. I'm guessing between 175-185 in length for all of these. I ski mostly in Tahoe and if at Squaw will do laps at KT-22 or Granite Chief. Don't spend too much time in the park, but may choose to go off of a kicker randomly. Always will seek powder if its an option but like to ski everything. Any thoughts?

Can't go wrong with any of those skis. S5 going to be a little more playful than the other two. Only reccomendation is to demo as many pairs as possible. Since you haven't done a ton of skiing recently, you need to try as many pairs as possible and figure out what kind of shape and flex profile you prefer the most.
