I know there has to be literally thousands of these threads but I'm looking for some new skis primarily for next season (going to be buying them next season but I am going to get 10/11 year skis due to being tight on cash). I have asked at my local shop with not much result. Not too familiar with skis so Im just looking for a professional opinion. Anyways heres what im looking for.

I'm about 5'7'' 125 ponds so the LONGEST SKIS IM LOOKING FOR ARE GOING TO BE AROUND 158's and SHORTEST AROUND 151's

There going to be used MAINLY IN THE PARK/GROOMERS but I'll take them into SOME gladed terrain that my hill has. Nothing over the occasional foot of powder

I'm looking for some skis with quite a bit of flex but not rubber-like

SOME OF THE SKIS I HAVE LOOKED AT ARE:

COREUPT CANDIDE YARD 151: I have heard that these are really stiff but also heard that there pretty flexible, I also heard that they are over the top camber but i would like to hear your guys opinion

MOMENT RENO JIB 156: Also heard that these are extremely stiff some people have told me they are amazing and some people have said that there garbage that aren't worth the cash

Line Afterbang: To be honest I'm not too interested in these, people say there slow, heavy, and wear out easy but some people have suggested them so..

Well some suggestions would be great, good responses will result in +k

Thanks

dude if your 5'7 you can go bigger than 156. im 5'2 and im on 151 suspects and 156 ep pro shortys and they are like perfect size so if your 5 inches bigger you might need to rethink your size chart

you're definately going to need something bigger than 158's because if your 5'7 thats like 170cm i believe and 158's will be at your collar bone

This. they come in 161s so they're a little long, but with a 94mm waist they're great for your situation and they're pretty sick in the park too
