Park ski for a very tall person.

So I'm 18, 6'7 or about 200 cms and a bit (and still growing) and maybe 175 pounds. I've been skiing 12 years and do mainly powder and big mountain skiing in Whistler. Next year I hope to do a lot more skiing in the park. Next year I'm probably going to be around 6'8 and hopefully put on 15-20 pounds. I really want a ski longer than 185. I want a ski which is fairly stiff and poppy but aside from that I don't care too much.
 
closest thing i can find is the 191 scott punisher which is more of an all mountain twin but can hold its own in the park. i knw nothing about them besides they are tall, probaly not too bad for what you want and they probly will last a while if you are just getting into park. k2 makes the kung fujas in a 189 which measures like a 193 in most other skis, and atomic has some snoops that run pretty tall but thats all i can think of. i hope this helps
 
e-mail on3p, there was a thread saying if enough people want it they'll make a 190 blue steele (park ski) next year
 
moment reno jib 186. measures huge. (my 181 jibs are bigger than my 186 atomic patents were) and realy stiff so it would be stable even if a little smaller.
 
i thought they only went up to a 184?

the kung fujas definitely run huge, and the punishers seem pretty money. those would be my suggestions

if you're looking for a light rail ski go with the 185 wall
 
Thanks for all the suggestions guys. Haha I know I'm super thin but its super hard to put on weight right now, I hope I stop growing soon.
 
We might make a preorder option or something that requires some dedication from the customer, like a "we get 15 preorders and we'll make it" option. Last year we got an overwhelming response for shorter park and pow skis, and people who said they would 'definitely buy a pair' usually didnt.
 
You need some of these bad boys.

But seriously, it might be worth giving this a try:
