I'm 6'3 around 180 llbs and i ski in the midwest. I ski around 85 to 90% park and the rest is a mix of pretty much everything. I do take a few trips to different areas (out west and east) where ill ski probably 50-50 park all mountains. Im looking for a ski thats at least 185 cm, fairly wide underfoot, with a solid base and good turning capabilities but still will slay the park. I'm mostly a rail guy, i hit jumps about 30% of my park skiing. Im planning to hit a fair amount of urban this winter so i want a ski that the bases wont just get destroyed on. I'd describe my style as pretty fun and playful alot of butters and presses. I've narrowed it down to basically three or so skis but i'm open to suggestions as long as the true length is at least 185. I'm stuck between the Armada ARV, Line Chronic or ON3P FR. Can anyone swing me in one direction i'm pretty torn between them all and i can't seem to nudge out a clear favorite. Can someone please help me out? +++K
 
Get two pairs of skis. One for rails and urban. Your gonna for through them fast. I say buy used.

For all mnt the ON3P Jeronimo or K2 kung fujas.

If you had to get one ski for park and all mnt but with emphasis on park and rails I'd say Armada AR7.

Something with more Pow capability, go ON3P Jeronimo or K2 Kung Fujas or ON3P jeffery.

these are not all the ski that would fit the bill. Just what I could think off the top of my head.

 
The ARV is definetly for you. Very flexy and wider under foot and carves amazing. Exactly what you're looking. To top it off it's very durable.
 
arvs are not durable if u thrash them at all. there is a reason armada doesnt make any other skis in their line with that constrction anymore...

kung fujas would be my recommendation. three seasons ago it was the only ski i took to a utah trip. rode great pow at alta and rode kings crown all on a kung fujas. it was fun for both.
