So I need some new skis. Trouble is I have no idea what to buy. I haven't actually looked at buying new skis in a good three or four years. First I need to decide whether I want park skis or pow skis. I'm riding lizzies now, but I just wish they were thinner for park. If I could just take 20 or 30 mm out of those lizzies it would be the PERFECT park ski. But I'm headed off to college next year so Schwitzer is going to be my new home mountain for the next for years. So maybe they get enough snow that I can justify getting some fatty skis?
Height: 5'2"

Super aggressive skiier and I like to ski fast. In the park I prefer a softer ski (at 121 pounds even medium flex skis beat me up) and I like to carve. The lizzies are great, but it's a lot to throw around in the park. In pow I'm kinda looking for a balance between being able to chop through tracked powder and ride them on the groomers (my old chetlers handled pretty well as did my ep's, they were just too damn long). My chetlers just beat me up and my ep's were kinda squirly in crud. Both of those problems can probably be attributed to them being way too big for me.
I'd like to limit these skis to about a 171 in the pow and maybe 166 in the park. somewhere in that area.
So basically, what is out there, and what would you guys reccomend? Hopefully some locals will chime in with what the pow is like up there.
