Do you want stiffer flex or a soft flex? if you want a soft flex than go with the athem or afterbang for line. but if yo want a stiffer flex go with a chronic or a blend for line. or solomon suspect or dumont

don't get salomon until they prove they can make a durable ski. there are all sorts of threads with them falling apart in here

take a look at anthems and afterbangs for a softer ski and the K2 extreme for a stiffer jump ski. volkl wall also kill it. they can slay everything in the park.

If you want to center mount then look for symmetrical (equal width tip and tail) skis, those perform best when center mounted.

Line has Afterbangs and Anthems
Volkl has Walls
K2 has Disorderly

These are all symmetrical park skis. The Lines and K2's are softer flexing skis, I don't really know about the Wall's flex.

Im your same size and I ski the 2010 Dumonts. Needless to say I love them! They have yet to lack in any area.

I would listen to iffe those are all sick skis.
The walls are great if you like a stiffer park ski super quality
The anthems are super flexy but only come in 178 which might be small for you
and as far as K2's the disorderlys and Kung fujas are both sick but a little more money than the anthems

walls are stiff as boner. ive heard the afterbang is much stiffer than the anthem too. personally, i would go for the afterbang or wall. both fairly light, poppy skis that hold up great.
