JJs sound good-they are stiff enough to handle crud but are still awesome in powder. plus theyre really light. the Hellbents would also be good. Ive never tried ON3P, but the Caylors might also work for you.

If you're not going to be landing lots of tricks switch in waist deep powder, I'd point you to a Great Scott, Wrenegade or Billy Goat, in order from CHARGE IT to SIDESTASH DAY!!! The Caylor is more tuned to be a big playful and soft jib ski, these other three will give you the most when you're needing to thread the needle down a tight chute at top speed.

I'm the same height/weight as you and I went with Moment Donner Parties. I would recommend those or the Moment Bibby Pro's.

Got some Rory Silva Pro's off tramdock for $249 the other week.

183cm

140 / 113 / 130 I think the dimensions are.

Plus the High Society FR I think it is...been on tramdock for like $239.

All those skis you mention are great, but you can spend half that and get a pair that'll work pretty damn good.

But who knows, maybe you just have tons of money to blow.

EP Pro, Hellbents, or surface one life. All kick ass. Pro is soft as hell, Hellbents are a bit stiffer, and the one lifes are somewhere in between. Another good one would be the VOKL chopstick
