Hey, so I'm looking at picking up a new pair of skis pretty soon and I was looking for some suggestions.  I enjoy skiing the whole mountain and have just recently started spending a lot of time in the park.  I'm 6'4" which is kind of limiting as a lot of models don't run too long.

Any suggestions?

Probably try the Armada ARV's. Great for all mountain and if you like to play around in the park a bit, they are awesome too.

funny.
I wouldn't suggest the Armada ARV for a dude who's 6'4". He's obviously going to be decently heavy because of his height. The ARV is a soft ski.
Go with the nordica enforcer in the 187. It'd be perfect for you, it works everywhere, and it has the perfect flex for your height and what you want to do.

They stiffened it quite a bit this year.

I don't weigh all that much anyway, at least for my height.  I think I'm about 185.  Thanks for the suggestions though, I'm going to go check those out.

I would look for a pair of last year's volkl Karmas, especially if you are from the East Coast. They are really good all mountain skis, better than my Public Enemies in crud, ice and chopped up snow. They also kill the park, so i would go with them. I think they came in 185, but I'm not entirely sure. The volkl Bridge this year is supposed to eb the same ski, just a little wider, so those might be a good choice too.
