I'm 6'2 225lbs, very aggressive skier with racing background. I currently have 191 ON3P Caylors and 181 moment reno jibs. I'm looking for advice on what to replace my reno jibs with as i have completely rockered them and they are pretty much useless now. I am looking for park skis that are 183+ and on the stiffer side, weight is not an issue, and i can't really find any skis fitting that description.
Also looking for a do everything ski that I can go ski little stashes on and lap the park in the same day (rossi s6 or vokl bridge kinda ski) and just generaly looking for advice on the best one ski quiver in a 184+ size.

Spark-notes in case that was ramble-y: 6'2 225lbs looking for a park and a one ski quiver type ski.

They run a lil on the shorter side do to the early rise tip and tail. They handel like a bigger ski but is easier to manuver do to the cap construction at the tip and tail. I have the 182cm and im 6 foot 175 pounds and could not be anymore happier. I have no problem throwing thses skis around in the park like switch ups and such. 182's should be good for you. The other day I was goin 74mph on them and felt tottally comfortable in them

188 Tahoes. They ski great, are nice and stiff for arching turns, and long enough to not be a pussy ski. You don't want Alpha 1s. I weigh quite a bit less than you and feel like they ski extremely short, and they felt much to park specific. A 188 Tahoe would be a great choice: fast, stiff, durable, and the right size. Plus you can take them in the park and then take them to the trees without a problem.

185 walls? Might be to soft.


Next years moment team? Super stiff comp style ski.

Tahoes as a park ski? You could handle them.

Or this years step up. The cryptonite is too soft for you.
