Good first park ski w/all-mountain ability

So I've been told that my 08/09 Gotama's are too wide/heavy for the park. I'm 6', 190 and ski all-mountain pretty aggressively. I want a ski that can get me through the pow but I can still pound in the park. Someone recommended Rossi scratch ghettos in another thread. Any other suggestions?

gotamas arent bad for your size. A pair of kung fujas wouldnt be too bad either. Reno rockers too. Id say look for a long ~95-100 mm waist ski thats not a complete noodle since you weigh 190. Maybe blends or brigades (s5) or something like that. Maybe even an s3.

Blend and Kung Fujas - HANDS DOWN the two BEST All-mountain (and I mean ALL-MOUNTAIN - like park, groomers, powder, trees, and BC) skis out there right now. Kung Fujas if you want rocker, Blends if you don't. That simple.

I have the white goats and I'm like 5'11 185. I have used them in park, though I don't really do rails on them. I keep the edges somewhat in shape and use them as my cruising ski. they also are not mounted center. But I think they would be totally doable. the width isnt that bad, and they are light as shit. they are stiff, but I like stiff skis.
