Basically i am starting a ski season and i need some all round skis, i ski park alot, but im working as a ski guide so need all round skis. Im 6 foot and 2 inches, and weigh 90kgs.

Ive tried public enemys, which are the absoloute nuts i love 'em, except i dunno if they will hack a season. Armada ar5s are too flimsy for my weight on big landings. Anybody skied the new volkls, bridge/walls?skied the old karmas were awesome.

HELP HELP HELP

vokls are a dope all around ski.  i dunno about the new walls but old one's used to be pretty stiff which would be nice with your height and weight. 
Pe's are pretty durable so i wouldn't worry too much
If you're looking for armada maybe ARV's

cheers guys, volkls seem to be so durable in comparison. But the PEs are sweet as, is the 2007/2008 topsheet any better? what bindings, are the jib 12s looks anygood, or would it be worth for going for the freerides with din 8-18? I dont worry too much about cost... CHEERS

What do you set your din at? How hard do you ride? How important are bindings? Do you usually break them?

At the moment i ski with my din at 10, and change it to about 12 if im doing anything extra heavy. I do break bindings, on my 2005 scratches i had the rossignol bindings and snapped those. but ive heard these look bindings are pretty bombproof, thanks again for help..
