i say the tm's k2 are good but take third in this choice, scratches tahe second because they can be soft sometimes, the tm are just the better of all

why are you comparing pe's and tm's to bc's? you're not one of those stupid people who's pissed that the fs doesn't have boobies anymore are you?

maybe get the bcs because your pretty heavy, well your not a tooth pick, and the 90 waist ( i think its 90) will probably be more stable for someone as big as you than a 78 or 80. I have the troublemkaers and aboslutly love em, but since your bigger you may need a bigger, stable, fatter waist ski

your riding jersey 90% of the time, stay as far away from anything over 82mm waist as you can.

Dude, DO NOT forget about the PE. For the stuff you are gonna hit, the PE is PERFRECT. Give you are a big guy and the is a 'bigger' ski, but in Jersey, there really isn't anything that great. i grew up there and then moved to Utah, and now i know the pointlessness of wide skis over there. The Pe is great in the park, and is beefy so it wil support you relly well. BTW, wher ein Jersey do you live?
