Alright so I live in Ontario and hills are well, tiny. I'm 6ft 200 pounds. I want a fat DURABLE ski(95+ waist). I spent a solid chunk of money on my ar6's that just got destroyed within a few month so I don't want that again. And I don't want super stiff skis since jumps aren't big around here but I want something that will be great for when I go to utah. So NS, what ski would you recommend?

Line blend 100mm under foot and a lil early rise to help out in any powder that you might ski.

Rossingnol s3.  98 underfoot but with early rise so when you are on hard snow your riding a perfectly symmetrical ski.  I love mine

line lends, they are 100 underfoot and have early rise which makes them nice all mountain skis, it also makes them quite soft and nice for park. i love mine and use them all over the place.

at 200lbs blends will be to small/soft. They are really soft this year. I would go for something bigger/stiffer

Here's what I'd say could be good

Volkl Bridge - 95 under foot slight w. slight rocker.  Good all mountain wide ski
Rossi S3  -  pretty much the same as the bridge with just with more rocker
K2 Kung Fujas - nice mid fat, good rocker, mad pop, this thing is so much fun
ON3P - Blue Steele rockered symmetrical fun ski not so good with ice though
Moment Rocker - similar to the blue steele a bit softer and i dont know how good it would be on ice

does that help?

try out the line anthems. they have a solid wide base and are big under foot. they have a butterzone tip and tail and have a carbon ollie band so you get a good pop off lips. i got the 08 setup and they just kick ass to this day. much better then my other skis.
