Looking for some park skis

Whats up guys? I've been skiing since I was about 7 or 8 and have mostly stuck to trails. I'm an advanced skier and I'm starting to get into park this year. My all mountain skis just aren't cutting it so I'm looking for a good ski/binding combo for park.

I'm thinking about some anthems/look binding combo. Any suggestions as to the size or models would be nice.

Current skis are 165's and I'm 5' 8" and 180lbs.

IMO you should get park specific symmetrical skis. I got stiffer park/all mt skis when I got into park last season because I figured I would ride groomers and stuff too, but now I just ride all park anyway and although I love the scratch ghettos I sort of wish I'd gone with something more floppy and with symmetrical flex.

Unless you are skiing a big mountain with sketchy faces and stuff, you might as well buy park specific skis because you are just going to wreck all over groomers anyway regardless of what you are skiing.

Ditto for when you decide to mount. I did -4 for a more all mountain friendly set up, and ended up remounting at center at the beginning of this season anyway.

Thats what I was thinking too. I'm thinking anthems center mounted with a good park oriented binding. I can always throw on the all mountains if I want to hit the groomers.
