Replying to Old man needs ski suggestions

Whelp...here I am on NS again.  I won't go into it, but I was actually one of the first members here (Registered before 2001, I was like the 1000th member or something).  I haven't been around for years, lost my account info, but now I need to ask the NS community for some suggestions on skis.

Hope you guys can help.

I'm 26, I've been skiing all my life, consider myself an expert level.  I need some new skis for this year, about 40/60 park/all mt.  I live in Minnesota though, so its all ice and hardpack, no fluff.  I sold my old 1080s and Volkl Karmas, so I'm looking for something fun and forgiving, something I can throw around and not worry about.  I'm not planning on many trips out West anytime soon, so power and bigness is not an issue.  I just want a fun ski that I can take to the park but that can also handle itself well outside the park.

Ironically, I've been skiing on my ORIGINAL pair of yellow 177cm 1080s, they are the most comfortable ski I've ever owned.  They blew my new 171cm (or 169...can't remember right now since they are sold and gone), I hated those skis.

I'm about 5'8", only 140lbs, so I'm not a big guy.  Do you guys think 171 or 169 is too small?  The second favorite ski I ever owned was the original 185 (I believe..) Pocket Rockets.  They were huge on my, but I was able to use them better and throw them around much easier than those new 1080s. 

So, any suggestions?  I'm at a total loss.  I don't want a skinny, park specific ski.  But I also don't live out west, so I have no need for a wide-waist beast.
