Hey guys

i am looking for a solid pair of all mountain skis

presumably for the east coast (VT, NH, Maine). My main mountains are

Sugarbush and Madriver. I am 6-6'1" 190 but maybe 200 if i can build

up the ten more muscle pounds by ski season around here. I am not fat

by any means i am only 5% body fat. I ski very hard ( have broken

multiple skis) and need a strong durable ski. Right now i have a pair

of original Line Chronics that i will use for park since i am kinda

fading out of park i don't need new park skis. Last year i bought a

pair of Elizabeths for powder and screwing around so i dont need a fat

ski. I am currently looking at the ARV, AR6, and Chronic Blend. Since

i have a softer park ski i am looking for a stiffer ski that still is

poppy and light but can charge pretty hard down the mountain and

through the trees and bumps. I need these skis to last me about 3

seasons so they have to be pretty bomb proof.

If any one

could help me out with recommendations on skis, ski length, and even

best places to buy it would be greatly appreciated.
 
last years karmas, or this years bridges. i have last years karmas and theyre are super stiff and very good for going fast and handling bumps.
 
Prophet 90 or 100, from 08 or 07. Super stiff, and you can definitely charge on these. Or blends would work too, they are also stiff.
 
i agree with bryce about the line blends, they are pretty stiff. you could also try some salomon 1080 foils in 182
 
According to your information; you ski hard, you're not a scrawny bitch, you have a history of breaking skis, and you have a dedicated park ski and powder ski. The Prophet 90's or 100's would be a damn good choice for you. 186cm in either ski would be your size, you would be able to dominate the mountain and still be able to hit some jumps, and apparently those skis ride switch amazingly well.
 
prophet 90 is the ultimate east coast twin tip charger.....you have a park ski, u have a powder ski......this ski you could take everywhere. DO THE RIGHT THING
 
oh yea and prophets are built like tanks and are very stiff, i'd get the 90s if you have dedicated park and pow skis already, they will have a nice balance. stance on the prophets is also set back farther than on the blends so they will be better for charging.
