Hi, east cost skier here.
I weigh 158-160 and am 6'0.
I'm looking for a relatively light ski with a good amount of flex. I also need a good pair of bindings to go with them. Lately I have been looking at the Invaders, Anthems, El Reys, THalls, and Chronics.

Right now I own Nordica Sparks which I don't really enjoy as much as a I could, they are a wide ski so I like to take them in the rare pow.

invaders and anthems are both good park skis If you're going to be doing bigger jumps I'd suggest the anthems over the invaders.

Also consider the atomic urban punx. They are nice and flexy and also pretty light. They're a better quality ski in my opinion and have edge reinforcement which is great! ( I rode these skis all season btw)

As far as binding, the STH is always good. So are mojos, or just some px12s, the old swivel heal if you can find it.

Anthems with Mojo 15's.  I love them, such a great setup.

i would recommend ar6s. i ski them and they are on the stiffer side, but really fun

if you want more of a noodle, then i would go for anthems then invaders
