Ok, well I am living in Utah and skiing Alta and the Canyons next semester. So, I have some old park skis and I recently picked up some 06/07 185 ARV's over the summer. The problem is I now weigh 210lbs. and am 6' 2''. Will I just over power my ARV's? I want these to be my all mtn./pow skis. If I am going to overpower my ARV's what skis should I get? I have been looking at line prophet 100's, seths, and maybe scratch bc wrs...
 
Seems to me like youd be right on the cusp...if you were going to get new skis, i would suggest either a 189 something, maybe a hellbent/seth/brigade...there are plenty others out there that i didnt mention, but those are just some off the top of my head. It really depends on if you like a shorter ski or a longer ski in the pow.
 
if you're a strong/aggressive skier, then yes you will.

189 seths, 185 brigades or 186 prophet 100s (softest -> stiffest) would be much more suitable.

depending on what your other ski is, you could even go bigger, 186 rossi steeze springing to mind here (110 underfoot)
 
as Rastafarider said if ur an aggresive/fast big mountain slayer u will deff fuckin destroy those mother fuckers

but if ur into the mellow pow type (think IDEA) then i think ull do ok unless u dont like the feeling of softer skis
 
You'll be fine. Like dude said, you're on the cusp, so as long as you aren't pushing 'em too hard they'll be alright for a season or two.
