line anthems. They're like the invaders xept they're wider so better for the pow between the trees and they're flexy but not too much. Im not sure about the length, but 178, 181?

^^line anthems like that guy said you should like them if you get them o and they run big so the 178 is a 181-182 roughly i think that is what that guy was trying to say.

id check out the rossi scratch ghetto for a ski thats a bit stiffer but is super solid
another amazing and greatley underated ski that i think is worth checkin out is the Nordica Spark
solid enough for big jumps and still enough flex to fuck around...great all around ski for a descent price

Backcountry.com has some for really cheap, SAC just recently had a sale on them too so u can pick them up for like 250 then just get a binding off here and bam!, a sweet ski + binding for 350~ish thats pretty good. Then u hav $$$ left over for steezy outerwear and poles, goggles'n shit.

Check out the Ghettos. I'm not sure if the Scratch FS WRS are the previous model of them but that's what i got, might be a bit thin for glades but flex wise I think it's what you'd like. I think Anthems might just be too soft for someone your size, which is something you have to consider where a ski someone might consider mid-flex would turn out to be much softer for you.
