Boys and girls,

Am 6'2" 190 pounds looking for opinions for a reasonable priced all mountain and park ski(60/40 All mount to park)  was thinking ARV, El Ray(185),Rossi S3, Line Prophet 90 or Kung Fu's.

Looking to mount 2/2.5 back from true centre  also dont want the ski to be too soft and not to stiff any other suggestions?, my thoughts are between ARV and Kung Fu's(like the 5mm rise).

i believe they are pretty big mountain specific? i dont know too much about all the skis listed though, maybe look at the blends too though.

prophet 90s are very directional and very stiff

OP on your list, the Prophets are the stiffest ski, but a more of an medium stiff flex overall.
The kung Fujas is a noodle so definitely don't get that ski.

chronics, hands down the best all mountain ski ive had... i can shred rails better than i can with my invaders and still lay down some turn.

this thread is filled with misguided wierd opinions.the Kung fujas are not noodles. they have a perfect flex for what you like doing. the tips and tails are soft and the mid section isstiffer. I own themm and they rip everything. the mini rocker makes em buttery and forgiving however the flex underfoot makes em good for turning. I was arching long high speeed turns on them yesterday. the arvs are decent but they are a pretty plain ski nothing special to report. Blends are sick all though ive never ridden em i know people who swear by em. Basically for what you described by Kunf Fujas. and mount 2 cm back from center. maybe 1 if you feel like youll be venturing to the park more often.
