1. You live in Ontario Ohio? I live around there n go to Snowtrails. I ride T-Hall Pro mods and I love them as a park ski man! I had K2's before and I can't even compare them the Armadas are so much better in the park!

i dont know much about how the trouble maker acts but i do know that its absolutely bulletproof. my buddy has TMs, they completed 2 full seasons of rails and urban and still have no edge cracks or core shots

Yeee, I live in Ontario too.
I had some troublemakers 07 (the green ones) They were pretty sick skis. They were good solid versatile skis. They had a mid-stiff flex, which made it ideal for groomers and jumps. Then at the end of this year I got some line invaders, they were SICK. I preferred them over the troublemakers, they are so fun. You can butter them like crazy, its redic. I would recomend you some invaders , they are super soft which makes ideal because you are light. You don't want a stiff ski when you are light, you want something soft that will help you have more control.
I recommend you some invaders, because of your weight and that you ski 90% park.
check out evogear they have some sick deal:
