p.s. i am 6ft 250lbs and i like mid fat to fat skis

If you ski at high speed and are 250lbs you need atleast 190cm of a stiff ski under you IMO. Take a look at a 197 gotama,193 Pimp Daddys, or 191 ANTs

alright i ride pes now and i love them but i want a fatter ski for park and ilike to ride pow and those arent that great but i have never rode anything over 180 and 190 sounds huge i like how the pes feel because they arent too stiff and yet they arent too flexible

I'm over 100lbs lighter than you and I will be purchasing 181s as my everyday ski, but it is personal preference. Get out and demo if you can. Try some 180s and 190s. I wouldnt go any smaller.
