I need some suggestions on K2 Skis...

I plan on buying a new pair of twin tips this year and I had some concerns.

I'm pretty much really in to K2 because I've been prettty happy with their skis.  I was looking into the Kung Fujas and I thought I had my mind made up because they're more of an all-mountain twin tip - which is what I'm looking for.  I do ski park but I'm really not that into it I'm more into finding some cliffs here and there or finding/making my own jumps and skiing a little bit of back country when I get the chance.  The reason I can't really go with the Kung Fujas is because the smallest size they seem to come in is 169 which is waaay too big for me.  I'm more of a 157-161 range.  So I saw the K2 Dissorderlys and thought they might be okay for all mountain even though they say Versatile PARK SKI.  So i was wondering if anyone knows a bit about these skis.  Do you think Dissorderlys would be pretty satisfying or should I veer towards a different company?

thanks for the input guys.

however i still am worried about 169's being too big for me because when I say i'm 5'8" i should say that i'm BARELY 5'8" (fucking italian genes.) and i measured a 169 and they were like at the top of my head. is that pretty much what you think i should go with? someone prove me wrong.

Dude, I'm 5'7" maybe 135 and I just got the 169 Fujas.  Before that I rode  170 MSP's which are way stiffer.  they'd be totally fine for you, unless you are a begginer or something and need downsized ski's (and i don't recommend getting the Kung Fujas if that's the case.) At 155 you'd prolly even be fine with the 179's, the Fujas are pretty soft.

According to my converter, 5'8" equals about 173cm, so 169cm would be perfect for you.

maan, I'm 5'7 and I ride 179's and 190's
Not too much ski at all, they give you way more stability when boosting airs just regular shreds.
I suggest getting the 179s.
