Park ski for a very tall person.

So I'm 18, 6'7 or about 200 cms and a bit (and still growing) and maybe 175 pounds. I've been skiing 12 years and do mainly powder and big mountain skiing in Whistler. Next year I hope to do a lot more skiing in the park. Next year I'm probably going to be around 6'8 and hopefully put on 15-20 pounds. I really want a ski longer than 185. I want a ski which is fairly stiff and poppy but aside from that I don't care too much.

closest thing i can find is the 191 scott punisher which is more of an all mountain twin but can hold its own in the park. i knw nothing about them besides they are tall, probaly not too bad for what you want and they probly will last a while if you are just getting into park. k2 makes the kung fujas in a 189 which measures like a 193 in most other skis, and atomic has some snoops that run pretty tall but thats all i can think of. i hope this helps

i thought they only went up to a 184?

the kung fujas definitely run huge, and the punishers seem pretty money. those would be my suggestions

if you're looking for a light rail ski go with the 185 wall

We might make a preorder option or something that requires some dedication from the customer, like a "we get 15 preorders and we'll make it" option. Last year we got an overwhelming response for shorter park and pow skis, and people who said they would 'definitely buy a pair' usually didnt.
