Replying to Stiffer, bigger ski than 155 Punx

Elfin:
Hi,

I'm 5'4" and 122lbs. I'm currently riding 155cm Atomic Punx which seem pretty good in the park but they do feel pretty damn small. But I bloody hate them on anything but perfectly groomed piste, when edging hard they just go all over the place. My mate says it's a mix of them being short and soft.

So I'm looking for a stiffer ski that is going to be a bit better on piste but still good in the park. I ski mainly park but have to ski some grim piste to get to the chairlift, and I like to occasionally have a buzz around the mountain as well. I don't need a full on all mountain ski as I have some Obsetheds for powder etc. I have just started park this season and am doing 360s off jumos, 360s on boxes etc, that kind of level.

Mainly looking at the http://www.sport-conrad.com/Skis/395 website as they do some good deals for Europe. I was looking at AR7s but they only have 161s in stock and I'm thinking I might want to go slightly longer than this?

What do you think of Rossignol Scratch Pros? Would they suit what I want them for? Do you think the 160 or 167 would be best? I'm thinking 167.

Sorry for another what ski thread but your help would be much appreciated.

Cheers,

Jamie
