I've realized that i'll have to buy a new pair of skis for the next season. I'm 200cm tall and I weigh around 95kg/209lb. I'm using the 18/19 Armada Al Dente Zero 188cm which I absolutely love but they have gotten pretty beat up. Are there any skis that have a similar flex, 190cm+ and around 100mm waist? Pls help

189 Wides are probably the most similar ski if you're looking for something in that length that's also soft
