Actually, the Double Time is a very nice recommendation for what you're asking for. Stiff, responsive, and poppy.

My other recommendations would be the K2 Revival. I rode on my friend's last year, and they were an excellent ski. Rode nicely forward and switch, and were on the softer side. They also were extremely durable, which is invaluable in a park ski. I believe they switched the name to the Recoil this year.

liberty lte is good but your probably too heavy for it. You could also go for the liberty morphic

How about you do you're own research, just like the rest of us? Are you really that lazy?

Line Stepups

they are super stiff, stable, and basically bombproof.
Plus, they're no longer made like a skate deck. they went to full sidewall construction.

Just bought some armada alpha 1s and there my all time favorite ski. Super poppy and fun to ride. Stiff but still butter and hold up on just about everything you throw at them

I probably wouldn't buy them again but chronics are nice once you break them in a little bit... they're super stiff at first...
And even though they sold their souls to tanner hall long ago, Armada still makes sick skis...

it depends on wht you like and your level. intermediate beginner advanced do you want a soft playful ski or a stiffer more responsive ski?

my picks would be the LINE masterminds LINE afterbangs or LINE stepups as well as the Salomon suspects Armada T-Halls or Armada Ar-7s

reaserch them online look into reviews and specs then decide what you might like.

This is really a question best answered after December, once everyones gotten a chance to ride some of these and not just speculating on hype and hearsay...
