Hey btw theres a gear talk forum so im not gona bother giving you any advice....
just kidding. So heres what im thinking: youre skiing all mountain but you want to have some park performance, so dont go any bigger than 100mm underfoot. youre also light, so dont get something too stiff. I think something like an Armada ARV would be a good ski for you, at 5'8" maybe get the 175s especially if youre skiing hard. There are plenty of other skis that would work for you RMU Diam, Line Blend, Im sure you'll find something you'll like. In my opinion, stay away from Volkl or Salomon, their skis that size are on the stiffer side and although they would ski the NE well, they wont be as fun or playful out west... unless you like to charge big mountain lines more than floaty pillows, trees, park etc. Hope this helps a bit!
