Okay, some details.

I'm 1m88 (sorry, don't know in inches, I don't measure myself alot, this is off my driver's license) and weigh between 150-165 lbs (again, I don't weigh myself often and there's no scale in my apartment).

I can grind boxes and do 180s and that's about the limit of my freestylin' for the moment.

I own a pair of salomon carve1 170s (can't remember grr...) and so am looking for twins this winter, potentially all mountain but I can settle for having a pair of skis for just park (and thus have them mounted true twin).

I'm guessing using my twins for racing (spandex free=amateur) is not the greatest of ideas?

because it seems your not sure of your true taste in skiing yet, I would recomend buying some used park twins so that if you find what kind of skiing you really like you can buy a more specific pair later.

A pair of last years K2 PEs, AR5s, Foils, or Scratches that are lightly used, you get the idea.

i think i set of rossignol scratches would be a good ski for you.  good all mt ability as well as park.  you could also check out ar5s and pe's or tms . you may want to try demoing skis next year or look for a pair of used skis on here.
