so i need new skis and would really appreciate your guys help in choosing a ski.
i am 6'3 and slightly over 200lb and am looking for a park ski, 50/50 jumps/rails.
i had the line anthem last season, liked it but was too soft for my weight.

so which skis would you recommend?
i have had a look at a few but would really like to hear what you have to say.

thanks guys

There are a bunch of skis that are a bit stiffer, but are still rad park skis.  I think you'd like the Moment Rockers in a 181 the most as the tips and tails are pretty easy to butter for taller guys, but it won't feel noodley.  A couple other skis to take a gander at.  Rockered: K2 Kung Fujas; Regular Camber: Fischer Addict, Moment Reno Jib.

I'm sure you'll find some more to take a look at, but that's a good place to start.

something stiffer might be the pipecleaners, or check out the dumonts, those might be good too

I had volkl walls and loved them. They are great skis. Hold an edge really well and just do great in park. I've heard good things about alpha 1s, which are stiffer than alpha 2s. I think you cant go wrong with either the alpha 1s or walls.

amplid syntax, if thats in your budget. literally no swingweight and still a durable ski.

Dogmas are theyre true park ski. Super low swing weight and a pretty stiff flex, but closer to the middle (not near as stiff as volkl walls). They have the abuse base tech which protects the base from heat damage and have a wider waist to land those huge jumps. The syntax is the same thing however its swing weight is virtually zero and its base is not as durable. Still a durable base just not as durable as the dogma. its aimed more for jumps but is used by the amplid team everywhere. If you want to do urban along with park id chose the dogma if its mainly park and some all mountain or pow id go syntax. it will require more tuning on the base, but the singweight is most likely the best in the buissness.
