Hey guys looking to pick up some wider all-mountain/storm skis.

Im 5’11 175lbs and currently ride Kartel 98’s 181cm for everything. I mainly ski Mammoth Mountain/Tahoe/Big Bear.

Wanted to grab a playful ski in the 106-110mm waist and make my Kartels a mainly park and spring ski.

Haven’t looked into skis in the last 4 years and have no idea what new models I should look for. I do like the idea of the J Skis Vacation and the Line Sir Francis Bacons.

what would you guys add to the quiver for a new all mountain/medium powder west coast ski?
 
I have SFBs and can definitely recommend them if you want a playful ski. They are soft though, probably too soft for many people’s liking. Definitely don’t get them too short. I might be able to answer if you have some questions about them.
 
I ride the 184 black crows atris, it’s 108 underfoot and has enough flex to be more playful for a wider all mountain ski. I’ve also tried the 185 nordica enforcer 110 which is a solid powder/all mountain ski but it’s stiffer and more charging than playful.
 
I should also say. I like a twin tip with a lot of flexibility. I like to 360 off natty features and press and butter around the mtn.

Yeah I was looking at the 184cm’s i enjoy my 181 kartels. Feel like they are a great size so maybe a few more cm’s in a softer ski would be nice.

Yes I have the same length and I’m 6’2. If I could pick now I’d go with the 189 for more stability. Based on your comment above the SFBs sound like a good fit for you.
