I'm 5'11 205lbs 80% Park 20% Every where else...
I'm mostly looking for a ski thats Not 100% park cuz i have a few of thoses... and a ski thats not 100% Power..Cuz here we almost Never get CRAZY power day's...Just Something alittle in beween!
These are the ski's that i'm kinda lookin at... let me know what you think
                      All 07-08
Volkl Bridge 185cm......    130-92-112
Volkl Wall  185cm......        124-87-115
Salomon Foil 182cm .........124-87-115
Salomon Gun 181cm ........135-99-125
Rossignol Brigade 185cm.....128-98-121
K2 Seth's.......189cm 130-98-118
maybe second pair....pretty much only park ski though
Rossignol Ghetto 181cm ...116-84-109
K2 Fujative 179cm....113-85-104

I mostly went with theses brands above, because i can get shop deals through them, so i dont have to donate a kidney every year to get all new gear..
So any suggestions or first hand experience with the skis would greatly be appreciated!! Thanks Gents

Haven't got first hand experience but, from what I've heard the Bridge is a very good all mountain ski, works well in the park and well all over the mountain, and coz it's Volkl it'll be well made.

Head mojo 90 or the Liberty hazmat.  Both are perfect all mountain skis.

You have the dimensions of the walls wrong. They are symetrical. I would def. check them out, the guns would prolly be a great choice also.

Well Thanks guys for the input
I think i'll start to hassle my Volkl Rep.
For a proform...Because the Rossignol Rep. wont anwer my calls,
ass hole...hahah
Yeah I really wanted to go with the Bridge's or the Brigade's
But I think I'll like the 92 waist in the Bridge since I dont get Insane of the pow pow..
And the 98 waist in the Brigade's might not be too awesome in the groomers...ect
All in all i'll be tryin to get the Bridge ski
Thanks Gents

I think the Bridge would be a good choice. Heard nothin but good things. If I hadn't just picked up a new pair of Karmas for dirt cheap I would be all over these. Or the Scott Punisher which has been voted ski of the year in British magazine Fall Line. Sick pair of skis.

The bridges are real nice. They are a little bit stiffer than the Karmas, just as a reference. The walls are 115-87-115, mot what you had. If you wanted to get a second ski for the park, it would be that one.
