Yo I'm 6"2 200 and looking for a ski for park and all mountain. I've skied the rossignol sprayers and the line blends, and I'm looking to buy a new pair soon. Throw any suggestions down homies

Scott Punisher 95 is a perfect all around ski, next year they will have the same model with a 105 waist. Rips the park and the rest of the mountain!

So I was also looking at the j skis allplay. As of right now I'm 6 foot and ride a 179. The only size they have left in the ski that I want is 178. Do you think this would make a big difference? Because I am supposed to grow a max of 2 more inches. It fits on all of the sizing charts I've checked...

I'm 5'11 ordered some revolts in 181. If you're 6 you'll be fine with anything between 177 and 190

The 175 should be fine, but with rocker in the tip and tail I like the ski a bit longer, especially if you're trying to ride all over the mountain. I'm like five ten or eleven and ride the 185

They are. They are stiffer then most normal park skis but I've been doing nose butters all over the place with them
