If you want a ski that can do it all, look at the Karmas, 1080 Foil, or Scratch BC

sorry, scratch that. I didnt see the "park" part. scratch bc would work. Lizzies are supposed to be good everywhere, but i think they are too short for you

PE´s could work if it doesn´t get too deep. Rossi´s are a safe bet, great ski. You could also try the Seth. might give you some limitations in the park thou.

Why haven't anyone mentioned the 4FRNT MSP?
That ski would be gold for your conditions.
I'm around same height/weigth as you and I skied them in park and pow and loved them in either of those.
I had the 180's.

ARV! 175 for more park, 185 for more pow.

i'm kinda nervous bought gettin a 180 b/c my last skis were thw atomic tweaks in a 163. i think any ski in a 180 would feel like a tank let alone the scratchs in a 186. can someone tell me elsewise about a 180cm ski?

well I was in the same boat last year, I had been skiing on 149 k2 juvy's then I jumped to a 169  Seth Vicous, I had no problems, If you mount closer to center it will ski like a smaller ski, it still may take a couple days to get used to but it really is not actualy as big a deal as people think.

No on Karmas for powder, they have no girth, and they are stiff. Mojo 90s as well I don't know why you would want to take in the park or use as a powder ski. Yes on the ARV or Vicious though.
