alright, so i ski 99% east coast parks, and usually do a trip out west once a year, to tahoe or utah. i currently ride 185 atomic patents, and love the 95 waist. i am looking for something else that i can center mount, is similar width, and has rocker. i really am into getting a rockered ski, and just can't find one that is the proper size / width.

I am 6 feet tall, 170 pounds

any help would be great.

i would probably say 100 is the widest i'd go. i'd prefer to keep it around 95

They are skinnier than what you have now, but I would highly recommended the filthy rich. Easily the most fun ski I have been on. You could also look at the blend or jmo if you want somthing around 100 waist

the only thing stopping me from getting on3p's are that they are all 600 dollars

Next years surface one time will come in a 183. I'm 6 foot and ride 173, and they still rock! Pm me if you have questions!

Rossi S3's are wicked fun. 186 centered up all day every day for me. Granted there is very little ski touching the snow in front of the bindings, but that's part of the fun.

Epic planks vaporizer's, they destroy it every where and have a super low swing weight.

Are sick centred, but rossi edges are way too think and rip out in large chunks. My s4's are missing probably a foot total....


On3p on the other hand, UUUUGHHHHNNN! My jmo's with fks 140's coated roughly $850cad total, 100% worth every penny!

Armada's rockered park skis are coming in 92 underfoot next year, the Halo 2 and Alpha X. I'd say size 182 for you.

K2 Recoils. They are 90 underfoot, but shred good in semi-deep snow. I live in Utah and on a pow day(about 15 inches). They shredded just as good as my Volkl Bridges(95 underfoot)
