So I'm 6ft 5 (170lbs :S) and ski 172 head mojo 80's from years ago...

Apart from looking ridiculous, they cant be helping my skiing - so it's time to splash some cash on some new skis. Ideally i'd have pairs for all conditions, but I cant budget that so i'm looking at a ski to do everything - I ski ice/powder/crap/park/groomers. I basically want a ski to mess around on no matter where I am on the mountain...

Current ideas:

- 2010 K2 Kung Fujas - 189cm
- Line Blend - 183cm
- Armada AR6 - 181cm
- Line Anthem - 178cm - too small?


Any suggestions for a 1 ski quiver for me would be great!

my vote goes to the fujas or the blends...both will serve you well in the park and all over the mountain and also do pretty well in the pow

189 kung fujas because they are good for everything and the fact that you are fuckin 10 meters long

A lot of people look into an all mountain ski and look at the AR6. It's a fantastic ski but the ARV is a bit more of a versatile all mountain ski in my opinion ski

Cheers guys! Gonna be interesting going from the easy life with the 170's to near 190... But think the Fujas will be good for me - probably more playful than the blends?
