Alright so right now my quivers only got 2 skis, silencers at 179 for park and AK Enemys at 189 for pow. Im thinkin bout tryin to get a pair that is inbetween the two, something i can take through pow tree lines but still get into the park a lil at the end of the day, somethin light that still shreds the entire mountain. Right now im contemplatin between the ARV at 185 since the stiffened it up a bit this year, the Bridge at 185 that i havnt heard anything about but looks pretty sweet, the Prophet 90, or Scratch Brigade. Any input on this?

Prophet 90's wouldnt be a bad option, maybe even Lib Tech's mid size offering. What kind of terrain would you realistically be skiing these on anyways?

I'd consider the prophet 100's or 90's then, those are good all mountain skis that have a stiffer flex than either of the K2's, and should hold up well out of the park and in various conditions. If you already have silencers, avoid blends and just go for the prophet. Volkl may have a few skis you might want to look at as well.

I think the 185 ARVs would fit perfectly in there. The Scratch BC/Brigade in a 185 would also be a good fit.

MSPs, Bridges, Prophet 90/100s, Mojo 90s, possibly seths, could all fit in there, but I'd say the top 2 contenders are the ones mentioned above.
