Replying to Looking for a wider, preferably rockered park ski!

Mr_G:
So I'm about 5'5, 130 lbs, and live on the east coast. I basically ski park all the time, but want to ski some more trees and powder this season. In the park I'd say I split my time 70% rails 30% jumps. I'm looking for a wider, more playful ski, preferably with rocker. I want a ski that will perform well in the park and on other parts of the mountain as well. The easier to butter the better. I rode 169 k2 domains last season and really liked them but I thought they were a little heavy and they're pretty beat now. Price is an issue, but I'm willing to drop some more money if the skis seem to be the ones. I've been looking at the Rossi Scimitars and like what I see (especially for the price) but would the 171's be to big? If anyone has had experience with them tell me how you like them. Some other skis I've also had in mind are K2 Recoils (not sure whether to go 164 or 169), Coreupt Bangers (again 164 seems small but 174 seems to big), Line Blends, Armada ARVs, Armada Halos, On3p Filthy Riches, and maybe even Domains again. I was also wondering if the Halos and Filthy Riches would be to big at 171. I'll look into any skis not listed that seem to fit what I want. All input and wisdom is appreciated so K+ for help. Thanks!
