i'm 5'7" 145 lb and i currently ski on a 168 scratch fs for dicking around and a 176 sprayer bc for powder, park and all mountain.  i ski primarily on the east coast with a usual 1 week trip out west every year.  i really want to get a ski next year that's fat and fun for the east coast and a little bit out west.  i want something really different than what i have right now and i'm looking for a ski with atleast a 98 waist.  any ideas?

you're not very big... check out the elizabeth. maybe think about a 179 hellbent too. those aer both super fun pow skis. you can take either into the park as well, but i'd stick with your scratches for hardpack.

Rorys are pretty wide. They're 111 under foot. Rory still skis these in the park at N*. I think they would be sick.

I ski just about exactly what you do to the T, in the East a lot, and out West some, I have owned quite a few pairs of skis and always wind up back on my ARV's. If I were you I'd find some 175's, you can find some sick deals on em, especially this time of year-
Super fun in the park.

The turning radius is 24 m. I dont know the flex but ninthward says "One look at the dementions of this ski and you are saying hell yeah. Designed to keep rory afloat anywhere. The ski will handle anywhere. The ski will perform best in soft snow but dont shy from the park the ski will slay there too."
