Buying new skis!

What up NS! I need a new ski for this year, and I'm stuck. It has to be long and kinda burly because I'm 6'2", 200 lbs. I spend probably 40% of my time in pow and the rest in the park, and messing around on groomers/the rest of the mountain. Any ideas?? I can get a decent deal on 192 Thugs, which seem like they could be fun to mess around on.

I do most of my skiing in the PNW, by the way. Thanks!

probably where they suggest an all mountain sort of mount

fatter would be like hellbents, but i think if your only in pow 40% of the time, you dont need something that fat because it wont really work as well in the park/groomers for the other 60%
