Hey,

I'm currently thinking about purchasing some powder skis and was wondering what advice you guys have. I want something that can be fairly versatile - a real playful ski. I want a ski that can also be taken into the park a little, nothing serious, just some light spins.  I don't think i need something super stiff, since i'm a really light guy. Opinions? Thanks a lot.

I'm 5'9" - 110lbs (Yeah, I know, I'm a goddamn twig)

plus the night trains are "scary light" so they could be easy to manage at your weight

I cant believe nobody has mentioned Hellbents yet. They are exactly what you're looking for. Soft enough for some serious park fun (mahre only rocks these in the park), and really rockin in pow. If I could, I'd only ride my hellbents.
