the least noodly of the three is the TM so that would perform the best outside of the park in my opinion.

the skis you listed are pretty much pure park skis...

I would look into the new models armada is putting out in the lower price range all mtn. series.

I was in your position once (not very long ago). My first season skiing park, I skied 75% all mountain (inluding big mountain) and 25% park... A few skis to look at are:

Dynastar Troublemakers
K2 Public Enemy (PE's)
Rossignol Scratch FS WRS

I've got all three, and they are all stiff enough to ski anywhere. If you decide on the Scratch FS WRS, you could have a look at last year's (07), they'll be on sale at a good price. This year they're making like the Ghetto or something. The Public Enemies are a great ski too, as are the TroubleMakers. All are durable.

If you're looking to buy a used pair, there's a guy selling last year's 165 PE's... username is "lt.milo".

Hope you find the right ski.

If you're lookin' for used 165 07' PE's, the user to PM is lt.milo . I'd PM him quick, before he puts them on eBay. The thread for this is here -> CLICK HERE
