Just use powder skis, I ride 185 pocket rockets in the park most of the time. Fat skis are better for stomping landings anyway.

I weigh 155 and ride my powder skis. As long as you're not trying 900's over 15 foot tables they're fine, but if you really want a park ski you'll just have to ride something shorter. I think they make the Karma in a 185 cm size, so that's probably the biggest park ski right now.

I don't think there's much of a market for longer park skis though, the majority of the kids that ski park regularly would get their asses kicked by anything over 185cm.

companies wouldnt have to make a shitload of long skis though just have them available, cus i know theres a lot of relatively tall kids on this site that would probably buy longer park skis if they were available.

hell yeah...im 6'4" and would LOVE a bigger park ski. But anything that is even remotely close is like 800 dollas and for a park ski that is ruined in no time sucks..I would have no problems if i shrunk to 5'9"
