I have $300 for a pair of skis, 2010-2012 as long as they are brand new. I do ski park but mostly freeride.

I am 225 lbs and 5' 10"

my last skis were 161cm Line Invaders, a little short i think.

what do you guys recommend?

As far as a size they were def a little small, should be 170-180 for your size.  As far as a brand and model it is personal pref man, some others on here will have a few suggestions I'm sure.

You could still go longer man. 181 would work great especially since you are a little heavier. 177 and nothing lower I'd say
