I need a tein tip that can ski all mountain, east coast so its not like its much for powder, but I like skiing the rest of the mountain. probly 50 % park 50 % everything else. I havent been skiing park long but ive been getting decent. I was looking at the k2's but they seem to come way to short as I am 6'4" 180 lbs. So what ski and length. Not looking to spend much, was looking at the silencers or the PE's but they seem short, 179 cm?. I guess I would mount them a little back from the center, I dont know how much though.

no ideas? so the silencers ski longer than the length? so would the 179;s be long enough for me?

I tried to search, but I wasnt just lokoing for skis, but also length, most people arent 6 foot 4. I couldnt find anything when I searched, SO I think I want the PE's or the silences, but are they to short? thats the real question now.

Seeing your size, i would go for either some 189 seths or 185 arvs. Get em close to center and you'll have a ton of fun.

seths are sick too- kindof expensive but definitely worth it- k2 makes great skis- good advice

Alright, thanks, Sorry but what is the arv? The seths lok nice but are they to wide for groomers? Im not going to be finding much powder on the east (unless I go to college in vermont, maybe). I really like the AR6's, but once again, wich they were a little longer. But the karmas seem perfect, minus the price. 185's also, damn, I just dont have that kind of money, Is there anything similar cheaper?
