pipe skis are too narrow for my liking, same with the average park ski, im looking for something around 100- 110 underfoot
 
Bump.

Want some more over 6'4 guys to compare with.

Im 6'5, 215, riding 186 jeffrey for all mountain/pow and 185 coreupts for park.
 
It's not so much about your height and ski lenght, it's about your weight and ski flex. Armadas are medium to soft skis. Try a pair of moment teams 181 or 185 volkl walls.
 
Gonna chime in with the rest here and suggest the Kung fujas as well. I'm 6'2" 165lbs, and ride the 09/10 models. They're 179 long, which actually measures out to ~184 with a straight tape pull, and the 95 underfoot helps me stomp those landings. Never really wished they were longer or fatter (we're talking park here) except for a few instances, but that's attributed to skill and technique rather than ski performance.

If you're a little taller and heavier, then the newer kung fujas at 189 should serve you just fine for both the park and the whole mountain!
 
moment pb&j in 188 would be legit as well for tall dudes. they are the same ski as the biby pro just narrower under foot (101) for park
 
just find yourself a really stiff ski and I think you'll be good..especially if it's a little fatter
 
I'm 6 foot 5 and 200lbs and currently riding 179 Volkl Bridges. They do feel a bit too small for me and once i save up a bit of dough i'm thinking of buying some Line Blends in a 185 or some ON3P Jeronimos in a 186 for the next season.
 
I can definitely relate to this problem, I'm trying to make a decision right now to that effect. I'm 6'2" and I already have 189 original Obsetheds and old 183 STL's that are adequate for how much I ride park but am looking for something in between for days where I want to ride some park and some other shit. I'm tempted by the new 185 Blends but I know Line skis are shorter than they claim to be vs. K2's that are longer. I'm considering the Kung Fujas but they are pretty damned similar to my Obsetheds and I want something a bit lighter and more playful.
 
i'd get longer park skis as well. for park i tend to go for about the same height as me, for backcountry i'd get and inch or two taller
