If anyone is selling a ski anywhere from 90 mm - 100mm underfoot or in that range, I am definately interested.  Let me know.

Size would be helpful.

I mean what are you looking for?

Almost all the skis sold on here are around there underfoot.

WTF You aren't LOOKING very hard JONG.

You are looking in the exact right ways. Nuff said. Theres a few more out there, but you already got great choices right there....go with your instincts.

I think you could even go up a bit into the 180's if you wanted...you're  young and tall so you'll probably add some weight on your frame in the next 2 years or so and you've been skiing for a while so you could handle the extra length, especially since you want a pow ski.

I don't wanna tell you what to go with, cuz it seems you already know what you're doing and you're looking at great skis.

Everything I mentioned and you mentioned are pretty similar other than maybe the blends which are only 90 underfoot.

I demoed Seth's, and ARV's, and own blends.

Heard good things about the Bridge, but it hasn't really proven itse;f enough for me to trust it yet, and I haven't skied it.

I would think either Seth's or ARV's would do you really well, I'm thinking more ARV's tho if you're doing 50/50 park/all mountain...if I'm wrong someone will correct me.
