I'm not really much help as far as picking out skis, but are you looking to sell your chronics? If so, how long are they?

Anthems
ARVs

I think most all mountain twins are over 85 mm waist though, right?

 Line anthems are great for light big mountain and park ridding. The Ivader might be alright too.

Head Mojo 90, Chronic blends, Salomon Guns, Volkl Bridges would probably all be good choices. I'd say Blends or bridges if your doing mora all-mountain/park and some powder, and teh guns fi more powder is in the equation.

Agree with the guy up there ^ Blends or bridges are perfect for you.  If you're considering any all mountain you can rule out the anthem.  At your size it's too soft.  I'm 6'4" 230 and I got the blends in 186.  So far this season I love them, super sick for all mountain carving, stiff but still poppy, and they hold their own in the park.  Can't say much about the bridges tho
