Liberty make the morphic in a 186 if you don't mind a stiffer ski on the all-mountain side, they are sick.

add width, not length, it will hinder your riding less. IE go to something mid 90s under foot instead of mid 80s

185 Dynastar Spin (low tip & tail so it rides long). Or 08/09 non-rockered Fujas comes in a 189 (really a 195).

185 Walls are way shorter than a 179 K2.

just throwing it in here, don't just look for a long ski, consider profile and stiffness as well!

ie. the running length on my 183 coreupt tjs is shorter than my 176 joysticks because they have ridiculous tips and tails....

also stiffness, quite obvious, a tall noodle might be worst than a regular stiff ski...
