The smallest size for the ARV is 165 isn't it? I like that might be a little large.

No, you are really skinny. I am 5'8'' and weigh 155. And I dont think I am fat because I have a 30 inch waist and a six pack.

And about the skis, I think Line Invadors are great for park and are pretty good for the rest of the mountain.
