I need a good mid-fat

Are there any skis out there that are pretty cheap that have like an 80-90mm waist? I know 90mm is basically fat so I'm looking for something for like 82mm or 84mm and fairly fat up front and in the back.

Gotta be pretty stiff, large back tip (fakie in pow pow) and around 175cm.

I know most of the park skis out there but I'm not a park skier so what would you guys recommend?

Volkl V-Pro - absolutley awesome ski. Its fat enough to float (83mm at waist), stiff enough to blast through the crud, got a large tail-kick and skis beautifully.

Ive skied this ski in thigh-deep pow thru to ice-rink glass, and it holds up on it all. i reccomend it strongly

Krongos, think of it this way:

ar5 = well, i don't have something for this
arv = like an SUV... get it? Goes everywhere i guess.

But yeah, to the V-Pros, I don't want a 180, I'm a big guy and a 180 would suit me but I want to ride a little shorter for more park-ness. I think a 176 Scratch BC would be awesome if I could afford it. They had the Scratch (blue ones) in town for $50 less than they are on d-structure so hopefully the BC's will be nice and cheap too whenever it is they'll get them in.

I think I'm gettin my BCs proformed but if you can't do that they go for relatively cheap on ebay, actually not that cheap but probably better than a ski shop.
