What size would be better? The 165 or 175? I'm kinda right in between

are you looking for a softer or stiffer ski? Rocker or camber? we probably need a few more details in order to help

Something a little softer for rails and small-medium jumps, traditional camber cause it should be better for carving and not float. Durability is huge cause i thrash skis really quick. Also it needs to be light and poppy, really playful

Take a look at the atomic punx, liberty lte and armada thalls for softer skis with traditional camber. The punx are the cheapest out of the three.

these are all really good suggestions. You can't go wrong with any of these. I would also recomend the coreupt candide yard... They're a really soft and really light ski that you can get for dirt cheap http://www.skis.com/mens-twin-tip-skis/c1000003492/coreupt-candide-yard-skis-p215576.html
