I ride the park about 90 percent of the time. I have read really good things about each ski. I am 5'10". found a really good deal on the walls but i have heard the punx shred so hard. I am not really sure if I should go 182 or 177. Is there a big difference?

thans for the help

not too much difference in size, but the walls are very stiff (for a park ski) while the punx are pretty soft. So id say its more of a what are you looking for in a ski kinda thing.

i would like the ski to be more on the soft side but i do like to take an occasional groomer run or ski some trees. would the punx be to soft to handle that? and, is the wall to stiff for solid park riding? how does it do on rails and jumps. also, which ski is lighter?
