Im being kinda picky with my new ski im gunna purchase but I cant decide on what I want... Im wanting *Atleast* a 90mm waist at the highest 110, and it has to be a symmetrical ski. ie: 117-95-117. Has to be rockered!

This ski should be able to do it all. few park laps, *Mostly* Groomers, and some pow on the occasional "good day".

Dont know if this matters at all but I am 5'10-11 190-195 Agressive downhill/powder skiier, In park mostly jumps.

Help is much appreciated and +k will go around.

Rocker was originally made for pow, pretty much any rocker park ski would ski pow better than a camber park ski. I'd say k2 domains

they dont fit your dimension perfectly but for what you say you like to do, the k2 extremes from 2010 seem to work perfectly for you

Now its between 09 Blend 178's w/ STH12 or Shizos Mounted -1, or 181 J-Mos w/ FK's Mounted -1. What do you guys think? Maybe some ARV? Atomic Coax? Remember im 5'10 195 and very agressive.

1. If its between Blends or Jeronimos, Jeronimos end of story. They will absolutely destroy the Blends in terms of performance.

2. For the love of god do not get Schizos. Trust me, I had them this year on my Kung Fujas which were my park ski, and they broke 5 times because the track that the bindings move on is not durable at all. Since that I've got Blue Steeles as my primary park ski and couldn't be happier.

But for sure Jeronimos with FKS', you won't be unhappy. And the ON3Ps are on sale!

Yeah I think I've narrowed it down enough to maybe the J-Mos w/ FKS, but now Im also thinking Line EP's? w/ What Binding? Idk... Its tough and starting to piss me off a bit haha.

if you don't like the blends i reccomend you go for the K2 revival, they are wide enough to rip in pow but also stable and thin engough to slay the park

No.  He went from considering Jmos, an all-mountain ski with a bit of rocker and dimensions of 126-96-120, to Line EPPs, a pure powder ski with immense rocker and dimensions of 153-127-150.  I think he's either trolling, retarded, or meant to say Line Blends or something.

Doubletimes sound just about right for your type of skiing.
