im a big guy, 6'4'' 180lbs and need a new legit jibbing park ski. problem is im goin to chile for a month this summer and need something that can handle the pow when we get dumped on

originally was thinking 187 volkl bridges but have been hearing that they wont cut it on jibs. now im thinking 183 line blends but im worried they are short and that they may ride even shorter

any ideas?
 
The Blends definitely aren't a long ski, but if you got they mounted back they would do alright.
I would look for something in the 185ish range. My best suggestion would be the Rossignol s3 in a 186. 98mm under foot, so a little bit on the wider side, but super playful and rockered.

 
K2's are pretty long as well. kung fujas maybe.

or i'm sure moment has a ski that would suit you. they have a lot of skis.
 
Hi,
I'm 6ft 5, 180lbs and have last years 183 Blends mounted +2 of recommended. I use them as my all mountain ski, a little bit of pow. They do look/feel quite short but they're not that bad. I'd go longer if you can though.
AK JJ's for me next!
 
183 line chronic cryptonite

186 liberty morphic

181 on3p blue steele (i believe they measure a true 184)

185 armada arv

 
I'm your size. I was on 185 Dynastar Spins last winter (their names have probably changed again this year, it's the 87-88mm waist one). Pretty much the longest running length of any park ski out there (low profile tips & tails), they skied nice and durability was above average. Or try to find the 08/09 Kung Fujas in a 189, I have those now and love them. Don't do for a rockered ski, you need all the running length you can get.
 
189 kung fuja191 scott punisher185 rossi S5
i'm 6'3" and i ride volkl walls for rails and scott punishers for all my park needs. i rode rossi brigades for a year, which are the old version of the rossi S5, and theyre super fun. 98 underfoot is money for stomping jumps and theyre nice n buttery
 
how good are the center mounted kung fujas in the park? those 89's will KILL it all summer when im hittin pow in chile but i need them to slay park for 20+ days before i head down there and then of course all next season. im 6'4'' 180 and ride 77 walls (which are too small obviously) but am worried that 89 fujas just wont be fun spinning 5's and throwin back 2s off jibs in the park. not tryin to be held back by a hulking ski
 
anyone who says line: STOP they measure short and are really not suitable for someone looking for all mtn performance out of their ski.

As said before:

last years kung fujas
