hey guys, im looking for a little bit of help.

im looking for a new park ski, it will only be a park ski as i have others to handle other conditions. i live in mammoth and will be hitting bigger jumps so im hoping for something pretty solid, last year i had a pair of addicts which were great and then i got on a pair of supercharger ignitions given by a friend, i like the stability of the fischers but i liked the jibbyness (yes jibbyness i made that up) of the ignitions because of the medium flex underfoot with softer tip and tail.

any suggestions?

well. anthems come in 178, but they are wayyy too soft for you at 200 pounds. you're going to want something a lot stiffer if you're going to be hitting big jumps also.  I would recommend that you look at ar6s (i've told like 1000 people that recently but i really like mine). there are so many park skis out there, check out all of the major companies and find a stiffer more bomber ski and you will love it

I weigh 200 and I have 178 anthems, they hold up on 50ft + kickers just fine. They don't hold turns so well at high speeds, but they are money switch.

Im just asking for some names of skis to look at, i think anthems would be fine at 200 for a pure park ski but im trying to get some more suggestions on what to look into.

i could fix those since i am a ski tech, but i would rather drop the 100 extra bucks on the brand new pair, fixing them up could take a while and remounting could be a problem since the holes will probably be too close to each other
