Reno Rocker sounds like your best bet.  Symmetrical skis ride short, so the little bit of extra length will help with stability, and they are super fun to butter onto rails with.

at your weight, invaders will be to soft. rockers would be alot of fun i think, be great for butters

^ for bindings i'd stick with salo, look or rossi... or some marker jesters or griffons would be money too (depending on your din preference and budget). for skis i'd probably rule out invaders just cus of your weight, haven't tried reno rockers but anthems would be a super fun ski for what your looking for. i totally loved my pair last season... buttery but not noodley, took mid sized jumps pretty well, great for rails/boxes and held their own all around the mountain.

if your that into rails i would suggest the Reno Rocker. You'd have a lot of fun on them.
for bindings i would suggest Salomon STH12 or 14 depending on how hard you ride.
Also look into the Marker Griffon. Those would be three pristine bindings to go on the Rockers.

if it was not concerning weight, would you still recommend the Rockers over the Invaders??

and thanks for the help!

i'm 6'0 185lbs and i went with the 178 Invaders and i also ski about 95% rails. they're soft, but they aren't gonna snap. i acutally enjoy the maneuverability and pop of the Invaders, but its all about your personal preference. if you can get your hands on both to check the stiffness, that would be best and then you can choose from there.

There are only a select few shops that sell moments. If you were to buy them it would probably have to be online

have you considered the volkl walls?
theyre stiffer, but symmetrical and i really like them on rails.
i dont own a pair myself, but i have ridden them and like them a lot.

reno rockers. a friend demoed them at loveland and thought they where awesome, a really fun ski for everything. keep in mind that we don't ride park at all so i have no idea how they do on rails but they're really stable on jumps and at speed so i think they would be a good choice.
