So i am 6'4" about 195lb and i want aan all mountain ski that will still be bomber in the park.  THe chronic kryptonite looks perfect but only if it came in a 188 or 190.  So help me out what longass skis come to mind?  Moment Tahoe maybe???

hes 6'4 and wants an all mountain ski, asking for 185+ isnt all that big for what he wants.

fujas, VCT, blends, and s6 are all good options of all mtn skis

the kung fujas is what I would recommend (189). 

The Armada ARV comes in a 185 too, which would probably work.

good man.  Fujas would be good like others have said if you were looking for something in the 100ish underfoot area.  It's a bit shorter, probably about 185, but Extremes would be a great choice if you like stifff skis, and were looking for something park width.  189 watch lifes would be good

im 6'5 205 dont get the kung fujas they are too flexy for your weight range, go pick up a pair of 4frnt VCT's MSP's or the Volkl Walls, I am bigger than you and I ride all mountain with my 181 Line Chronics mounted true center.

How all-mountain do you want? Get the Bibby 190 from Moment. I don't ski park, but the guy who's name is on the ski sure does.

if you wanna actually rip all mountain too, MSPs are a sick ski, the 187s would be bomber. if they still make them, you could track down the supermodel version thats like a 2X4.

im about 6'4, but a bit lighter than you. i used some liberty helix's. they were awesome. maybe a little stiff for all mountain for my liking, but for you they'd be perfect. i also know someone who has a pair for sale, that are barely used.
im not just saying this to get them sold, they were freeskiers editors choice 2 years in a row.

i am 6'5" 235 and i rode the 187 4frnt msp's for two years.  it was the only ski i owned so i rode it in all conditions and i have to say it was a super solid ski.  i have been riding the 189 kung fujas hear and there (basically just park) the last year and i find that they dont perform all over the mountain as well as the msp, as mentioned above about the flex being a little softer.  i also have been riding the 189 hellbents the past year and i dont ever want to get off them.  they are the most playful ski i have ridden.  they pretty much kill it everywhere.  so i would suggest getting a pair for yourself.
