well I'm about 15 heavier than you and the chronics would be an ideal ski, if you want a stable ride. Even at my weight, buttering the chronics is a feat. Possible, but difficult. If you're looking for a soft ski, i'd go with the ARVs. Had the anthem come out, I would have gone with those. In fact, that will be my park ski for next year.

They're pretty small for you, but at that price I'd find a friend who needs skis and hook him/her up.

im 6'4" and 160 lbs and i ride invaders and they are pretty damn soft. i probably wouldnt want to ride them if i was 225. if you land backseat at all youll flex them a shit load, i think they may be too soft for you. invaders are crazy soft. but, if you can get htem for 95 shipped id just buy them and sell them

I would suggest a stiffer ski. You will be washing around everywhere on the Invader. Bigger dudes need burlier boards. I would suggest 182 Addicts or 177 Chronics, both stiff park skis. They will give you the stability and beef you need to rip it up.
