hey im alex and im currently skiing in arizona (yea ikr) and i need new skis but i need to hear some advice first.
i am currentyl riding the Head the caddy 2015 in a 176, mind you i am 6'1" and 225lbs. i am looking for something with more underfoot (around 90-105), is a great all mountain ski but can still shred in the park then go hit some backcountry booters.
i need something that can butter its way all the way down the mountain. could you guys leave some suggestions on what i should buy including length and bindings?

eastcoastalex6'1" and 225lbs.

eastcoastalexsomething that can butter


At that size you should have no issues buttering on a stiffer ski: J skis are soft AF. Get a stiffer ski.
