I googled and Searchebared.
They seem good, but i need NS point of view, anybody tested them out?
And if i get them, what should be the mounting point?
BTW: Weight: 170 lbs/ Height: 5 foot 10/ 55% park, 35% bumps, and the rest for woods if possible.

They are sooo sick! I own s4s but me and a friend swaped for like ten days this season(he has s5s). They arnt the greatest for the park( coming from Some one who rides an s4 soo idk what that means) um so yeah they are great for woods and groomers and still fun in the park. The flex was perfect for a mix of stuff like I was doing. We got some really heavy snow when I was using them and they were fine, they held their own pushing through that shit. All in all they were good.

I have the Rossi Scratch BC's, same ski.
They're not the poppiest ski, pretty damp, but they'll pull you through any conditions on the mountain. You can drive em dang hard and they're relatively nimble, I can put my BC's anywhere below my body instantly.
Fine in the park, a little stiff for buttering or anything, but I'm a pretty light guy, maybe that's why. IMO not a full park ski, but for your needs, they should be alright. Not sure how many fatties you've ridden, but with bumps on the agenda, you may want a narrower ski for the edge transitions. S4's?

Judging by your criteria, I think the S5 would be a solid bet. The 4FRNT MSP would also meet your needs pretty well and would be a little lighter and more nimble than the S5.
