Well its finally time to upgrade for the upcoming season. I'm looking for a ski that's really buttery and playful but at the same time i can send some big kickers with out having to worry about stability. I'm 5'10" about 175 pounds. What size skis should i be looking at? I'm open to any companies and don't really have a price point. Thanks any info will be appreciated.

Id check out the ARV 96 or the Icelantic Nomad 95. Both are buttery and soft but can still hold their own.

Go for the 179 BDOG or 178 Edollo for sure. You could even go a 182 if you really feel like it.

As long as you don't have price point then go for the Vishnu Wets. Super buttery but still have some pop in them too.

I think I'm going to go with the Bdogs. Which size would be better the 172 or 179. I usually skied a shorter ski but I'm not sure which ones. Also I'm still open to other suggestions
