okay if you have the money buy some ar6s because they are amazing in powder and about your fujitives remount them at 2cm back that will be the best

ive got some anthems great for everything but i havent put them in the deep stuff yet


Bacons are nice but not really a park ski. great for bc and powder

lizzies are the perfect medium of the two

Because your only 5'10'' and you ski in the east i would not recomend Sir Francis Bacons. Dont get me wrong they are a sick ski but the Elizabeths are just a shorter more manuverable version.

you want a park ski that works well everywhere then go with the anthem  at 178

ok if you want more of a park ski that will hold up in powder the Armada  AR6 is your best option it isn't as fat as the skis we have mentioned if you get it mount it 2cm back or 1.5cm back the anthems are also a good ski they might be a little fat for your liking since you said that
