you'll find the scratches short and soft for someone your size. get the 1080.

although id say the 1080 wouldnt lat as long as the scratch's if they were used for jibbing.

That triplets triple post was funny.

If they are the old 1080s, you might want something a little better all mtn (karma, Foil, PE, MSP).

I have the Thrusters which are pretty much the same as the 1080s.Im like 5"8'-5"9' 140lbs and im riding them in a 171 and their really soft.I would recomend u getting some kinda of stiffer ski.Especially if your not going to be in the park that much.Maybe look into PEs or Chronic Blends.

The scratches are almost a purely park ski so i would go for 1o80's for sure
