Looking for a ski that is 188-196 cm in length, 74-86 mm under foot, maybe 15-20 m turn radius, with a raised tail or full twin...... something like a long park ski that also rips in the bumps.....
Does it exist? Past or present? what are your suggestions??
I'm 6'2, 190 lbs.
current skis:
191 armada ANTs
195 Praxis
198 Solomon Super Force 9
185 Norica Enforcers (these are going soon)
188 Rossi Scratch BC (these are what I am looking to replace)
some other long and straight skis
Mojo 90's?
Seconded. I have these and they have been a good all mountain ski.

Volkl V-Pro.

I've got two pairs of Line Dragons I'll sell ya for $50. 193, 75 underfoot, soft, full twin.
Crappy skis.
193 line dragons?
Mojo 90s.
dynastar legend 8000 or 8880
Line's first ski, also known as the "Ostness Dragon". Black sparkly topsheet with gold dragons on the tail. Super soft white bases.Quote:

Outside the park, I always preferred the feel of the old 188 AK Enemy (2002 bird wing graphics, 2003 goblin graphics) to the old 188 Scratch BC, but not sure if you want its 30m radius.
I like my 186 Mojo 90's, short radius, but skis short because mount point is pretty far forward, so I wish it were a bit longer, so 193 Mojo 90's should be a good pick for you (although 90mm is outside your stated 74-86 range).

great all mountain twins.
MSP 187cm...suppa stiff for a twin, good graphics, can hold an edge in any condition and its sorta midfat by todays standarts 96mm...just what your looking for!
If an old model could make you happy, look into the Völkl G41/G4/AX4 198. 83mm waist, I believe. I still have a pair in my garage.
189 public enemies
V-pro was my go to ski when demoing. Only the deepest days would get any other ski.
I bought Head Mojo 90's 2 years ago. Similar feel. Twin tip. Decent in bumps, but not a bump ski. Floaty when you need it, and stable on everything. Mount them back a bit for best results.
Edit- make that the 724 Pro. Still a great ski, but 78 or less under foot I think. Not sure what lengths they come in. For what it is worth, I loved this ski. But, it was during my transition from 210 Pre Slaloms, before I really got used to the idea of a wide ski being useful.
Good luck with that width waist. A Mojo 90 in the 193 is the closest thing, and many have mentioned that already, but it has a 90-mm (or rather 89-mm) waist.Quote:
