im and currently on the first year troublemakers size 165, im 6 ft 200 lb..you can see how this is a problem, so im looking for a new ski but cant decide, i want a stiff ski that still has good pop, carves well and semi wide for stability, i was thinking ninthward firstbloods,the rookies, foils, any suggestion would be greatly appreciated

You should look into Karmas or Mojo 90's, those fit the description of what you're looking for perfectly.

I'm pretty much the same size as you and I ride 177 chronic wides. They're super fun and stable all over the mountain and they carve well too. You should definitely give them some consideration, i promiss you you'll love them.

Foils, don't worry about the whole 'foam core is only for lighter riders' bullshit, I'm 6'3 185 lbs and rock a pair of 176's, dope ski

Every pair of lines my friends have had have delaminated within a year, they're not a good ski. My pair was the only exception, they snapped after about 25 days of skiing.
And as for people saying that the Chronic is stiff, I switched skis with a friend who had those a few days ago (I have the Mojo 90's) and they felt like noodles when I was just skiing the mountain.

Atomic Stomp. Very stiff, decent width, good amount of pop and all mountian ability. You can get them pretty cheap on ebay too.

pe in a 179 is a good option, karmas would be good too.
