with your hight/weight i would not look at anything below 180. check out the volkl walls in a 185 if your planning on center mounting. if not, check out armada ar6s. both are very light and popy

well it isnt "too" small but i think a bigger ski would be much better for you. way more stable and with your size it wont be too big or anything

take a look at either the chronics or addicts for sure. they are both a tad stiffer then some other park skis which should be good for your size.

I just picked up a pair of 172 Addicts for more like 80% all mountain, 20% park. but their super fun. great pop, strong, just good skis. might not fit your style though, you probably want something more park oriented, but you never know, its the magician, not the wand...

185 Walls. Sick skis in the park, and they rip outside it too.

Rossi Ghettos, good ski and you should be able to find them for cheap.

For sure they are sick as hell if you like a little bit stiffer ski which it sounds like you need with your weight

I'm your size and my jib ski is 181 Scratch FS WRS just now which are damn light, if that's really what you're looking for. Scratch Ghettos are the same and the S4 is really similar (but apparently not identical). Check them out. Anyway I like them a lot.
