If you get full tilt boots any skis should do fine.

full tilt.

lol but it sounds like your skis are old and not very good for park skiing, pick up some nice twin tips.

how old are they?  Post up a picture.  If they are too old they will be long and thin and ski technology has changed a lot

well full tilt is a boot brand and twin tip skis are exactly what they sound like they are.. both ends of the ski are curved up.

Obviously if you're starting out then you'll definitely need to get your hands on some full tilts.

If the skis are as old as you say they are then the full tilts and the skis will go well together.
