I'm 6'0 and 130..so close to the same body build. I have p12 jibs on '05 troublemakers and love it. They are awesome! I also ski in southwest michigan, and they work great all over the mountain.

if youre lloking to save some money, you can beat fujis. cheap, and a legit ski for park and then some. a surprising ski for the money. if youre willing to spend a bit more, id say go with a scratch fs or an armada ar5. both legit park skis, durable, full sandwich construction which seems to hold up better both cosmetically and structurally. an ar5 will treat you a little better for pure park because of its weight and softer flex, but a scratch fs will be a better all around choice if you ever decide to venture outside of the park...which i highly reccommend.

its really personal preference.. im 6'1 162, and my park skis are 169 PE's.. My groomer skis are rossi scratchs 176..
i find if my skis are to long, i cant spin as well.
