Well I’m moving to Alaska next year from the east coast and am looking for a ski I can use on non-pow days that I don't spend in the park.  I’m 6’2” about 215lbs and ski agressive so I’m looking at 180 or longer.  I just don’t have the ability to demo them and haven’t been able to make up my mind.

 

I’m currently looking at ON3P 181cm Jeronimo, Armada 191 ANT, and 4FRNT 187 MSP.

well the ants are a bit much for park im 6'3" 156 and im in the same situation ive been looking at these
186 liberty morphic- bamboo/poplar core super light, responsive, durable, and alot of fun, stiff flex
181 on3p j-mo- bamboo core, light, durable, rocker makes them super fun and versatile, measure long to about 184 cm
181 on3p bs- same construction as j-mo more park orientated, has rocker so its playful but super stable in the park
185 armada arv- durable, medium flex, handles park really well
185 volkl walls- light, durable, symmetrical, medium to stiff flex, measure a tad shorter to about 182-183
183 line chronic cryptonite- stiff, good weight, durable
184 line step up- symmetrical, stiff flex like chronic, a-bang construction
181 moment reno jibs- medium flex, light and symmetrical
179 k2 domain- light, playful, rocker-flat-rocker construction makes it playful, and helps to not catch on rails, durable thick edges, flat camber not as poppy as camber but gets the job done, symmetrical, measure to about 182 cm
179 k2 revival- stiffer flex than the domain, but same construction, asymmetrical, measure to about 182
179 k2 silencer- rocker-camber-rocker, asymmetrical, measure to about 182cm, medium flex

what about kung fujas or obsethed? they make those in long sizes? and they're probably a bit longer than they say they are. or maybe they stopped that this year?

I already have park skis and am looking for something for the rest of the mountian.  Not a powder specific ski but something that I can take pretty much anywhere else.  I've been told that the ANT's are a really solid ski and have no top speed which is along the lines of what I'm looking for.  I haven't heard alot about the MSP's or the ON3Ps but enough to consider them. 

Anyone got some more input?
