Hey guys I'm looking for a big mountain ski that can just punch the mountain in the balls when it comes to pow and even some tracked crud. For details I'm 6'2 and 220 lbs and more of a playful skier than a hard charger but want to change it up.

op you seem like a big guy, so you might overpower the 114. i'd look at jeffrey 122 or surface balance/new life

If sander is about as big as him or bigger and rides the 114, im sure OP would be fine.

That being said stick with ON3P

OP said he is looking for a pow ski. 184 is too short for someone that tall and who weighs 200+ in deep snow

Technically it's 186 and ON3P runs big. Also they added a 191 this year in the 114. I mean the 122 is a great option but I think he'd be okay with the 114.

191 ON3P Billy Goat (14/15) or 193 Blizzard Bodacious (15/16)

or the 196 Bodacious (14/15) for more 'punch the mountain in the balls' and slightly less 'playful'
