okay last year i was skiing the 08 Liberty Larose's in 164

so looking to get a new ski im leaning towards the 166 moment reno jibs but i'm open to really anything...

I want a ski that is good for all MTN but can hold its own in the park...im big on jumps but not so much rails...

im about 5'8" 135 LBS so suggestions would be great!

Also looking at something lightweight, super poppy, but since im pretty light give me some leeway on the butters

Cheers!

Just wondering why u are getting a pair only 2mm longer? If your looking for a better ski phil larose's are probably one of the best park skis around

Id recommend getting a longer ski. Sounds like your still growing anyways. Go for something at least 170cms.

dude defs get in 170 im 6'1" and i ride a 181 for park and thats even almost to short. Its way easier to land jmps with longer skis cuz its way more stable. Since ur 5'8" i would sa get something between 171-175

well, i'd suggest you as well to get something longer than 166, and maybe even wider (especially if you're still growing), something like line anthems or moment rockers with a low 90s waist (but there are many good others like ar6, volkl wall, or hazmat and lte if you want to stay with liberty)
