Ski advice

So I decided its time to get new skis. I'm 6'3" 185lbs and I live in Ohio and I ski about 60% park and 40% groomers cause only like 1 or 2 of my friends do park too. Also, I usually go out west like once a year so I kind of want something big enough that will preform in powder. I was thinking 187 Chronic Wide, 179 PE(I hear they dont do that good on ice), 179 Fugative, 182 Foils, or anything else you guys might think would fit me well.



Also, I have 03-04 Line Mike Nicks (red and black) for sale. They have salomon s710s on them and are in decent condition with some scratches on the bases. I also have two pairs of shitty nortica boots for sale, not too sure what size but I think one is about an 11 and one pair is about 11.5. I will let those go for really cheap. Make offers.

go for the foils there big enough for those powderdays and still rips in the park. the pe is also a sick ski but doesnt have the floatation abilities of the foil...

yeah but those are the ones just shouting out GET AR5 or FOILS or whatever without telling one why. im no salllomonguy, i always rode dynastar and now armadas, but when people ask, i still try to recomend the most suited ski not depending on what i like and not.

Go to the store and flex skis that have an underfoot of 78 to 88. That'll be like a mid fat ski, so you can carve, but have enough surface area to float decently.
