Is this a good all mountain ski? im 6'3 200. 70% in park 30% out of park. Im an advanced skier. I have the thalls but looking for a new pair for my twin brother.

Yeah they are a great all mountain ski which is capable in the park. I also have some thalls and the 92 is much stiffer underfoot which helps it carve much better. The rocker is symmetrical and pretty stiff, so the ski still feels stable on larger features. It handles the fresh snow much better then the thall obviously and is also much better just carving around. Overall I still prefer the thall as a pure park ski, but the 92 is a much better all mountain ski. Get the 186 btw, the 179 will be too small for you.

My friend just got them and whenever he goes decently fast they chatter and shake a lot. Not very good on groomer in my opinion,

I had the 2012s the first year they ran them which are essentially the same ski I believe, and they are one of the funnest skis I've ever had. I would recommend em, but like the homie above me said, they chatter, but it's less noticeable than you think, atleasy for me anyhow. All in all, I'd rate em a 8.5/10, I think you'd be happy with your purchase.
