My old cruising skis were Volkl Targa Rs from way back in the day. Full on slalom ski and even at 203 or 205 cm I would still ski bumps on them all day long and man they were a lot of work.
I like not working so hard these days and I am on some Rossignol Z5s from a few years back. They are only 170-175 cm and do exactly what I want them to do. Turn.
Maybe look at some new boards next year as it is amazing the leaps and bounds that technology makes with these new skis.
Skiing is fun again on these things and easier on the body.
Sounds like you may need a ski that is a little more aggressive and perhaps the skis you tried were detuned a bit.
Look at the ski manufacturers websites to see if they are doing demo days at a location close to you and try everything they will let you try. It might surprise you what you actually like...
