Yet Another "What Skis" Thread

SInce my 164cm revivals are too small for me (i'm 6'0), I'll be looking for a new set of sticks for next season. I want really the softest ski possible, and right now my choices are between the k2 domains, next year's line anthems, and the armada halos. If I went with the halos, will I have problems if I mounted them centered instead of the recommended -2.5 cm? Does anyone have any firsthand experience with any of these?

If anyone has any other suggestions feel free to throw them out there.

if you centered the halos you would be totaly fine, and the 182s are deff for you. thalls are also pretty soft, and the anthems/tc ski would be another great pick. whatever you get, if your planning on center mounting, get over 179cm in length FOR SURE

Atomic patents of punx would be great skis too.

I have centred halos and they ski fine there. There are softer skis out there though. Joystick 'These' sound good for you. They come in a 175 but they have short stubby tips so they ski a bit longer than that.

Get the longest Filthy Rich for sure. If you're going to center mount a ski, get at least a 180 length ski. My roommate has the Filthy Riches in their longest length and he's 6"2, and loves them. I'll also recommend the Atomic Punx or Patent
