** All-mountain, mid-fat suggestions

Looking for suggestions for a solid all-mountain 180-190cm, preferably
90ish mm underfoot. Want it to be fairly stiff because I'm a big guy
and like to charge. Should be able to handle the BC well too.

FRNT msp 187 or perhaps for something a bit narrower check out the new Volkl Bridge.

the 4frnt msp 187 is exactly what you are looking for. These are my all mountain ski and I am 6'4 190.
They are pretty stiff and absolutely destroy crud. I can haul ass on them in any conditions and they just plow through everything. Super stable and predictable charging ski. Also, at 96 underfoot they are big enough to handle some BC and pow. No chest deep insane pow stuff but being realistic they can float some BC stuff.
I wouldnt recommend these to someone smaller but if you are big enough to handle their stiffness and length then you will really enjoy them as an all mountain varying conditions type ski.

I have got a ski for you. Head mojo 90 in 186. I have the 06 model and it kills everywhere. The 08s have a faster base and should be signifigantly lighter than the skis that I have (which were already fairly light). The durability should also be better on the 08s than the model that I have. If you want to know more, I have a review on these skis in the reviews section. Also feel free to pm me if you have any other questions about this ski.
