I'm from Indiana so I ski a lot of crap conditions. I spend about half of my time in the park and the other half on the groomers and trees. I mainly hit jumps in the park and tend to stay away from rails. I'm looking for something stable underfoot that i can take all over the place. I'm 6'3" and 270 so i don't want anything too soft.

I'm stuck between the following but leaning towards the blends, bridges, or codys due to the low price.

moment tahoe
moment pb&j
volkl bridge- 215$
line blend- 190$
4frnt codys- 180$

any suggestions as to which pair?

+K for good feedback

Nordica soul riders are pretty good option too. They aren't soft as McVeigh makes them look l. Also on3p kartel 98 and 106 are an good option. But if you want cheap skis on3ps aren't the best option

i just got the 2014 line blends, don't know where you found all those cheap prices but i looked everywhere for weeks. it was hard enough to get any size for under 400. Be careful of the sites and check reviews for fraud. I know great sport list alot of skis for half the price from anywhere else and its a scam website.

I just got the Head Oblivion's for this year because I wanted something a bit wider that I could still use in the park. They are only 90mm underfoot, which isn't that wide, but they seem pretty good for all mountain so far. I was deciding between those and the Rossignol Slat which are 97mm, but went with the Head's because they were a bit cheaper.

How about one of the kartels? 98 or 106 might be too soft for your liking though

ON3P's are not known for being a soft ski at all...

Kartels are a pleasant flex, IMO. Not super soft or super stiff, kinda medium. They love to nollie, for sure, and the pop off the tails is solid.
