179 line anthem would be fitting if you are looking for a solid jib/park ski

i think that at his weight you're gonna want more than din 12 for sure
how advanced of a skier are you?
take a look at at least 14 din, and probably something look/rossi because they make solid bindings.

anthems would be a great choice, i have them and i love em. check out the atomic punx. my friend has them and they're soft and buttery but still great on jumps.

it all depends on if you want a soft ski or a stiffer ski.
walls- medium flex
jibs- stiffer flex (i think)
anthems- very soft flex
