I'm looking for a ski that will get me around on the crud, groomers, moguls, and the occasional pow day.  I was thinking maybe around a 100 underfoot ski, and maybe rockered.  Any thoughts? Suggestions?  Anything?

I actually have 2008 K2 Kung Fujas, they're awsome.  But i really didn't like how they rode on powder.  And i'm trying to get into powder and hopefully backcountry stuff more next season

4mm will not make much/any difference.

true.  but i'm also pretty sure that Jeromino comes in a 181.  So if i'm 6'3" (190 cm) shouldn't i be on something a little llonger than that?    or would a 181 work?

Night Train is sick.  And yea i don't hit the park much, so a fatter ski would probably do me better.

Yeah i figured it was you.  Evan Dyar as your crew sorta gave it away... Night Train looks pretty sick. Definately gonna check out Sports Creel though incase they have anything on sale.
