buttery? I think the term your looking for is soft. Buttery just makes it sound like its dripping in well.....butter. Not a please thought

lizzies are almost 180 and pretty damn buttery, whatever ski you end up with it'll probably be a Line

also check out the Moment Reno Rocker

Yeah there really isnt a whole lot out there for soft 180+ ski's.  Hrm,  like the guys mentioned in this thread the Armada seems to be the best fit.

Only other ski I could suggest (but I cant comment on its softness) would be the Rossi Scratch GHTO in 181, or Scratch Brigade in 185.

Go with the ARV...

The Lizzy is 172 as mentioned, and the Bacon is 182. I wouldn't suggest the Bacon though if you are doing a lot of park, as I wouldn't want to use mine on rails, not quick enough.

The 185 ARV is your best bet.

At your weight, you could probably butter some of the soft-medium skis, not just the really soft ones.

nope, K2 and Line measure the running length of the ski not tip to tail length, i put my anthems up against some 179 scratch BCs and they are a good 1 inch longer than the bc's. go with the anthems, i have them and love them, read my review in my signature...
