yeah so i'm going to get some new skis for next season or late this season.  As of now i have AR-5's, i'm looking for something comparable but i don't really know what to expect.  I ski about 60% all mountain and 40% park, but the mountain is pretty much just groomers with fun jibs on the side.  I love skiing trees when there's snow, so i need a ski that can hold it's own in some snow.  I hope this thread

i wasn't done at all i meant to take the question mark out of the title the original title was ninthward skis but i changed it and then i started saying that i hoped the thread didnt' get deleted because of the ninthward in the title so i changed it but accidentally pressed enter.  I'm looking at some ninthwards right now but there isn't really much objective information on them. I really want to keep the price under 450 or even 400 if possible.  I'm really open to suggestions but i want something buttery but not too noodly, i demoed some atomic twin tip and it was super super light and not at all what  i was looking for.

hmm... I think anthems would be too soft for you and wouldn't be a great all mountain ski(that was my initial thought). I'd say maybe some volkl walls. They ski wicked all over the mountain and carve nice for a twin tip. They also aren't too stiff so they would be pretty god for a guy of your size. I'd say go with around a 180
