Need Help to choose the right ski for me

Hi!
Im looking to buy new skis this year and I need some help to buy the right ones.
Im tall guy (6 & 4, ~195cm) and weight around 190lbs. My ski level is between intermediate and expert.
I will do 50:50 park and mountain with maybe a bit of powder if I can. I was looking for a twin-tip all mountain ski and I find the K2 recoil as maybe one of my best choice.
But, the max length for the skis is 179cm so I think this will be too short for me.
So, I want to know if there are others skis like the K2 recoil that will be good for me?

Thank you very much!

Line chronics would be a good choice! they are some good park skis that will be good for all mountain. They can also be OK for powder. There is some 185 cm that would be allright for you

K2's run 4-6cms longer than other brands, so the Recoil in a 179 will be a really similar length to a 184-185 in any other manufacturer

the Chronic and The recoil are very similar skis, if you are on the east coast those are your best bets

k2 measures their skis weird so 179s come out to like 183ish maybe a little more or less. Don't know if that helps.
