Replying to I can finally kinda justify a fat ski

ACrombie:
So as the title says I can finally kinda justify a fat ski (100+ waist). This is because ill be making about 3or 4 trips out of Ontario, and quite frankly i just want a fat ski. I weigh about 200lbs and am 6 feet tall. these skis would be used for powder, all mountain and occasional runs through the park. I currently ski on Armada ar6's which are my primary ski. These fat skis are replacing the line afterbangs i bought for some reason. I want something stiff and rockered, but still fun at the same time. The afterbangs were too soft for me and ive started to rocker the tails due to sitting in the back seat. ( the afterbangs were used for park as a second set but quite frankly i dont like them) What ever ski i get, they will be mounted with old rossi fks15's either center mounted or 1cm back as i actually prefer to ski all mountain and pow on centered skis.

so the skis im looking at are either
Surface One Lifes 189. I always thought these looked good and ive heard pretty positive reveiws

Armada JJ's 185 .  Ive always likes the armada park skis ive owned

K2 Kung Fujas 189 . Always here good things about k2's.

Currently I'm leaning towards the One Lifes, but i dont have much reasoning behind that. The whole point of this post is to get the opinion of someone who skis in terrain outside of ontario, who has either used these skis or any ski similar.


So what would you recommend for me as a ski thats between 100-110 under foot, rockered, stiff, yet still fun.
