i need some help looking for skis. im 6'3, 170. i need a new park ski. im looking for something thats moderately soft. i have the karmas rite now which are obviously not soft at all. so im looking for something that is softer than those but not so soft that they are completely useless. i want to be able to butter and the like. somewhere between an 80 and 90 waist would probably be nice. i have had a few ideas and am just wonderin if people had opinions about stiffness. ar6, ar5, last years t-hall, 07 fischer addict, stl, head mojo 80 or 90? i really have no idea about the stiffness of any of these because i obviously havent ridden em. overall opinions would be great also.

im a lot smaller than you but i have the stls and i love them. they are super fun to ski. they arent too soft but they are still easy to butter and play around on.

I don't really know much about the thalls but i did demo them for a couple of runs. there are a lot of people that really enjoy them but i really wasnt that impressed. they didnt feel like i was hoping they would. just in the couple runs that i did with them, they felt kinda stiff and i just didnt enjoy them as much as i enjoy my stls. i know these arent on your list but another ski that you might look into are the sir francis bacons. i dont know anything about these but if they are anything like the elizabeths then they will be amazing. they are really wide, but the elizabeths are made for park and i could carve the shit out of them and they were just super fun to ride. for someone your size, the sir francis bacons would be a better length, but i really dont know how they ride.
i hope some of this helps you.

Even if he meant 2 words he then gave 3?
Agree with the ski choice though, the Anthems are legit. I skied them at Squaw last year with Pollard and company and they were rock out with your cock out funtastical.

183 STLs, they'd be good for your size.
