Need help with new skis

Looking to get some new skis this year. Looking for a soft ski witha decent width thats easy to butter on. Looked at the Line Anthems, Moment Reno Rockers, Faction skis, and the ON3P jeranamo. Was going to buy the line elizabeths but they only come in a 172 and I'm 6'4. Like i said need some help. In short i'm looking for a park orientated ski that does well in powder and is easy to flex

Thanks

Yeah pretty much its been between the Fujas, Sir Francis Bacons, and the anthems. Only reason why the anthems are on there is because i live in south dakota and it might as well be on the east coast. SOOO BAD weather.

maybe look into the line blend also. Lizzies will be too short.

Kung Fujas is probably your best bet for an all-rounder, especially with the new rockered shape. perhaps look into 4Frnt VCT and rossi s5 too.

At 6'4" you are too tall for the Rockers and Jeronimo at 181cm, the effective edge reduction caused by rocker (though slight on these skis) will make them ski shorter. Kung Fujas seem to be the deal breaker since they come in a larger size, if you want you could look into the ObSETHeds they are more of a powder ski, but people do rip them in the park as well, plus more width than the Fujas could help you stay up more when you do hit the pow.
