At your weight doing 80% park you can pretty much take the AR6 off your list.

I dunno...thrusters or the STL's might work but doing that much park and being that light I think you need to rethink your whole list and go for something more buttery.

last season i rode 4frnt msp's 161 and i was about your size, probably heavier - i found them to be too stiff - go with a ski that would be easier to butter around - maybe salomon

personly i think you should go 171(thrusters) if you are still growing and if your gonna center them youll figure out there gonna be smaller than youd like i think.plus there pretty much the same ski except not full wood core and cheaper by a bit

Yeah the invaders are like the ski for you as the others have said either 161s i would say you could go the next size up with your height but you don't weigh enough to really make that make sense.
