Hi y’all, I’m looking for a new freestyle oriented ski. I’m a taller guy at 6’3-4 and around 200 lbs. it’s hard finding something that’s not a short ski for me

I really like the vacation for a ski, but would it be too similar to my current ski the BC atris? They have similar widths but seem like a different ski.

The vacation is one of the softest skis on the market. I think it's similar in flex to something like the Blends. I don't think there would be too much of an overlap. Since you are a bigger dude I might consider something a little more supportive. Maybe check out the K2 reckoner 102?

If you like to ski aggressive even 1 run out of the whole day, skip the Vacation. It’s way too soft for any hard skiing in anything other than perfect conditions. In crud and chop it just folds in half. If you like the Atris and wanna keep it as your daily, the Vacation could be a good second, low-speed playful option for sure. The Jeffrey 102/108 would be good and so would the Revolt 104. The Revolt is a little slept on IMO it’s a fantastic ski for just about everything
