Fat ski to add to my quiver:Help me chose

Alright guys, Ive been here for almost a year, but dont really post that often. I am just asking for a little help from you guys. I ski about 2/3 on the east coast and 1/3 on the west. I'm 5'7, 130-140lbs (working out so I'll be gaining weight). I can ski anything in the east pretty easily and most of the inbounds stuff in Utah pretty easily. I ski fast and try to power through everything, rarely use finesse. In the east I usually just ski the trees, bumps, backcountry. Basically anywhere I can find soft snow. My favorite things to ski are trees, pow, and chutes/big mountain lines. I'll mainly be skiing Stowe, Jay, Gore, Whiteface, Mad River,Solitude, and Snowbird.

I currently own:
Atomic Carves:Getting rid of them
Volkl EXp 724:Ice, early season skis
Blizzard Titan 7:Everything from trees to groomers skis
Armada AR5:Park, bump skis

Looking to add a ski for the soft east coast days, trees, and backcountry and also a ski i can take out west. So far I've picked out a few skis that interest me:
Kingswood Skinny
Capital Versatile
Prior Orignal
Volkl Mantra
Blizzard Titan 9
Bro Model
Igneous FC or FAT

Any reccommendations, or skis youd steer me away from?
I've searched, but havent found much on Kingswood, Prior, or Capitals.

Thanks guys.

Somewhat of an understatement ;)

I haven't skied any of those myself (that's what I get for not having a credit card or a job) but the bros would seem to be good choice.

the bros are quite versatile, and i haven't seen anyone say anything bad 'bout them. they also have pretty much the best customer service ever. which is a plus. thinking of getting some myself once i get myself some $$. You can choose the flexes, and whatnot. and if you're in dire straits, just get the blems, which come with warranties. look around about them, i know there's a thread that has someone who posted tons of threads with reviews of them on the forums

Don't know much about any of them, but everybody seems to love their Iggys, Bros, and Capitals.

I ski the 188 Prior Original (127-98-115). I only have 3 days on them, but so far I find them light and pretty easy to ski (compared to the 190 Explosiv I used to ski). I'm 6ft, 170lbs. They're medium stiff (a little stiffer than a Seth Vicious, similar to Gotama) and are amazing in powder. We've had a lot of snow lately so I haven't skied too much hard pack with them yet, but they seem to have good edge hold so far. My only complaint is that the topsheets seem to get cut up pretty easily. I'll provide a full review after I get a few more days on 'em.

kingswood all the way. If u want more email alex herbert(the guy that makes them).

Don't you think a ski over a 180cm would be alot of ski for a dude of his size?
Think about a Lab Gun Pocket Rocket!

Perhaps, but he just wanted to hear more on Prior skis so I gave him some info. They come in a lot of sizes. He can get any size he wants.

I second that...good fat ski for the midgets. I'm 130 pounds and looking for an easier turning fat ski that can still punch through the Sierra crud and hold an edge.

Currently on Apache Chiefs but not much edge hold on the firm stuff. PR the tip is too floppy even for my bantamwieght. what else should we be looking at?

I'm retarded. Carry on.
