105+ is a pretty wide ski for one ski quiver especially for park. But two skis that I have ridden and really enjoyed were the Atomic Blogs and Rossi S3. What type of skiing are you doing?

K2 Obsethed. They have it available in a 169. I have last year's model in a 179, and I love it. Just enough rocker to give you float in pow and chop, but not too much where you skid out super bad in hard pack.

171 Caylor. Sounds crazy, but if I were your size I would do it.

I suggest the Gotama but not if you are into doing any park stuff.

Fun. They are soft, so expect them to be best used for jibbing around kinda just rocking the garret russell steeze. I was really impressed with how they worked in crud and bumps being so soft. They didn't have a problem at all and really worked well. Groomers they are sick. Even though they have the rocker tip and tail, the camber underfoot still lets you ski on the groomers like you are ripping a carver. And then obviously it powder they are legit. Really good float, if you are gunna be skiing switch in the pow I would suggest probably 2-3 back from center. Center only if you are jumping only. PM me if you have any other questions! Would love to help you out.
