I just moved to Vermont and want a great ski that will perform on the often icy hardpack as well as the groomed and then into whatever. I ski K2 P.E. @ 174. Picked them up last year and had a lot of fun with them, but felt that they weren't quite right for me. I am 5'11'' and 230lbs. I love the whole mountain, but I am not going to be pounding moguls the whole day or dropping out of huge chutes after being dropped off by helicopter. I still love some air under the skis, but you probably won't see me in the park or pipe that much. Till I moved to Vermont, it was the Tahoe resorts and Mammoth for me. I was considering the Movement Thunder and the Head Monster, in the 180ish range but not sure of width. Your thoughts?

The reason your p.e. did not work for you is because they were to small for you, at 5'11" and 230 you need to be on ski around 180 or longer if it is soft, go with something around 90 to 100 in the waist and if you are going to do any park stick with a twintip, LINE prophet 90 or 100, HEAD mojo 94, MOMMENT tahoe or ruby would all be excellent choices, they rip groomers yet still playful elsewhere.
