I have been riding a pair of 2012 Line Masterminds since I started park skiing a couple seasons ago and I really want to move onto a new pair of skis. My masterminds are 178 and I am 6' 2". I really want a ski that is around 184cm-188cm, playful, a little less stiff than masterminds, and will last a while. Preferable not Line again but anyone with a suggestion on a ski to get would be much appriciated. +k for responces.

Armada T-Hall's or Halo2's would be best for your description.

I was in the same exact situation. Not the same height but the skis were the same. I went with the line traveling circus 2014 model. They are nice and flexable for buttering but still stiff enough for bigger jumps. I have been out only 2 days on them and already I love them. They are really playful and are great on rails. The wider waist makes it easy to slide a rail or box.

go to your local retailer and tell him/her what you want and if he/she knows what they're talking about you should be able to get a good set of skis for what you want, everyone has different styles and ways of skiing so the only person who should decide what skis to get is you

Those are some sick skis, and they should be solid too so I think you made the right choice!
