I am currently looking for a nice flexy park ski, deciding probably between the fujis and invaders to try and save a buck or two. The only thing I am wondering about is what size for either ski I should get, I am 5'8" about 155lbs. I currently ride some 178 mike nicks, but dont get much pop from those.
