I'm 6'2-6'3, around 200 pounds. I need a pair of park skis so around 70% park, 30% groomers. I previously had a pair of head matrix which I am wanting to replace. I need a ski which is pretty much bombproof and is not as stiff.

I was thinking
Armada T-Halls 181
Ninthward Butter Licious 180
4frnt STL 183

Any ides or information on those or others would be much appreciated.

well you are a pretty big person..so i would go with something a little on the stiff side...maybe some dumonts? (nxt years-181)
but out of the ones you listed...the STLs or the T-Halls will be your best bet

dude, you're 200 pounds, even a stiff ski wouldn't feel that stiff
i've heard PE's are pretty bombproof but have no pop
but PK hnder won JOI with them
so i dunno about the 08's
