try the moment bibby pros, seriously.

they sound like they would fit you perfectly, they are made for fun in the powder, like jibbing trees and doing pillows, etc... they are amazingly light, will probably fit you fine if you can handle a little bit of a bigger ski, although they arent too long.

They'll probably feel shorter with the rocker, and you may grow into them.  What size do you ski now?

That is pretty short for someone of your height, you probably want somewhere between 178-186 ish, but it's all personal preference, so go with what you want.  However, I bet that if you increase the size, you'll get used to it quickly, and be happier than you are on your 161's.

they will ski more like 176s because of the rocker, plus you want a longer ski for the powder.

u mean 170-180 for my park ski? i kno i need longer for my pow ski im just not exactly sure how long. the shops in PC said higher 170s

so with the rocker im sure it should be pretty close to what i would need if it were normal

i love the ep pros if you think you can handle a 185 but if you want shorter i would recommend the volkl kuro or the k2 pontoon
