Another What Ski Thread

Sorry to post this I know how many of these threads there are but have been trying to do my own research on what ski I should get next and I'm struggling

About me: Moderate skiing ability
Mainly stick to all mountain (like to hit jumps, no rails yet)
Ski in Ohio so midwest normally icy conditions
I'm 6'1 190 pounds


I purchased the 2012 Volkl Bridge off a ns'er before this season and they're working okay for me, but I feel as if they're a little too wide for the snow conditions I ski in.

Would really appreciate some serious suggestions as to what ski would be good for me

In the northeast I felt that the bridge was fine and I really wanted them(im 5'11 220lbs). We got ice like you guys. Do you plan on progressing on park riding? From what I'm feeling you want to stick to riding all mountain but have a ski that can do some mild park riding. ON3P prester come to mind with them mounted 2cm back. Full camber, stiff to grip that ice, tons of pop, and can take a beating in the park when you decide to start slamming them on rails or on what ever fucked up shit that you ride in the east. Its one serious bastard of a ski.

You could try the Line Prophet 85s. They're awesome all mountain skis and work on jumps just fine but they're directional so they aren't so great for park.

stay away from the blends. They are not going to hold a edge well at your weight(noodlely soft flex). They are also wider than the bridges that you have already.
