It seems like the invader or anthem would be super soft for your size, but i've never skied them so I could be wrong. I know you said you wanted something soft, but you could probably flex a lot of skis well.

well flexing is a little bit harder for me because i tele so to get a ski to do a nose butter is extreamly difficult and all the companies that are making tele specific park skis really suck and dont know how to build a solid ski so i think i need someting on the softer side

Anthems, Moment Reno Jib, Fujatives


All are soft and durable park skis.

sorry to burst everyones bubble, but youre all wrong.  the ski you want is the ninthward mik d compte.  this is without a doubt the best park ski ever made.  people who disagree have never been on them.  they are very buttery but not too soft, like invaders or fujis are, they pop to the frikken moon, they are super light, basically just straight up the best park ski ever.  i have been on many different scratches, fujis, lines, ar5s, arvs, and TMs, and comptes blow all of them out of the water.  comes in a 176 only, but thats a good size for you.  i have never heard anyone who has ridden them not think they are the best park skis ever.
