hey, i'm sure you guys get a lot of these but i'm a bigger guy, about 210 lbs, 6'1... this will be my second year in the park but i really like to ski the entire mountain... i was looking around last season for skis but i'm entirely lost this season... i obviously don't need anything incredible or top knoch but i do need to buy it new or off ebay... any advice?
 
ok i was gonna say foils but ur kinda big so karmas mebbe? do u like stiff or soft skis?
 
hmmm mabae since you dont want anything big you should invest in some of the k2 line skis mabae silencers or fujatives both worthy skis or mabae some line invaders are always a good worthy ski... since you kinda on the heavy side im thinkin 177s 181s
 
Stiff skis for sure. I got karmas for this year and im 200 lbs and like 5 10. Anything softer than that will not be stable at all for a big guy.

the Karma is the first ski that pops to mind, pricey but stiff and its a solid ski. I also understand that Head Mojo 80 and 90s are stiff, you would have to pick 80 or 90 based on the amount of deeper snow you plan on finding, if any.
 
u are stupid he would prob snap those faster then...stuff but karmas would be something to look into or pretty much anything on the stiffer side
 
I'm 6'2" and 240 and ride some chronic wides in 187 and they're perfect for all mountain and park. Karmas would also be good for you since they're stiff. Um, the only other ski that I can think of for you that you'd probably be able to handle is Ninthward's First Blood in the 190 size.
 
i was in the 260-280 range last year and skiing fujatives. they hled up pretty well and cornered as fast as i wanted them too.
