come on...

where do you ski?
how hard do you charge?
do you care about width?
do you want to go switch?
100% park?

give us basic info so we can help you out. height and weight just isn't enough

this kid is big not the best skier. i would suggest chronics for him maybe
i would deffinately not say over a 95 waist for him because he really doesnt know much about equipment he hasnt been skiing for long.

this thread.

To the threadmaker, people are trying to help you out here, so be a little polite, and answer the questions they are asking you if you expect anything in return. I realize this is the internet, and its great to feel tough and macho, but lets get real, pretending to be super awesome-tastic like you are is pretty lame.

Definitely the thrusters or invaders. just kidding

Maybe the prophet 90's or 100's. I know there not 100% park skis, but they are stiff and would go all mountain well

actually it would be the live lifes. Those are WAY too fat and not SUPER stiff. I don't know a single park ski that's super stiff, but the line chronic blend would be good for you if you want a good stiff ski that can handle all.
