I've realized that i'll have to buy a new pair of skis for the next season. I'm 200cm tall and I weigh around 95kg/209lb. I'm using the 18/19 Armada Al Dente Zero 188cm which I absolutely love but they have gotten pretty beat up. Are there any skis that have a similar flex, 190cm+ and around 100mm waist? Pls help

Faction is the only company I can think of that still makes long bois (188ish park skis).
Faction ct 2s go up to 188 and prodigy 2s go up to 189

189 Wides are probably the most similar ski if you're looking for something in that length that's also soft
