Skis for a Light Kid

I need new skis and I'm around 5'6 and weigh about 110lb. I want a ski that is good for everything as it will be my only pair of skis. I ski around 60% park and 40% everything else (groomers, pow). I want skis that I can butter, but so I can still take it in the occasional powder. Also, around what length should I get?

Sorry for another "What Skis Should I Get?" thread.

Thanks.

and check out the kung fujas along with the other skis mentioned above me

line anthem cuz its wide enough for the pow and the extra width also gives more stablity. its a real buttery flexible ski that would be perfect for ur weight. hands down that would be my choice for u.

yeah, I'd say kung fujas or anthem. Both have a good width underfoot and are playful skis.
