K2 press suitable for me?

Hello NS, I'd like to know your opinion about k2 press skis. I know there are several threads about them but I feel they aren't really relevant for me. I'd need a pair of new sticks and I couldn't afford really expensive skis now, so I came to these skis. I've heard that they are beginner skis and too soft and so on, but because I'm pretty skinny and short they might fit me. Here are few stats about me:

age: 14

weight: 50kg = about 110 Ibs

height: 165cm = about 5.4 ft

level: propably advanced? I ain't noob but I ain't pro

Usage: 90% park. mostly rails and medium sized jumps. Never anything really big.

I was planning to get the 169s. I have now domains and I love them but they are too short for me; they get wobbly in landings and higher speeds.

Help is appreciated, answers get +k.

im about the same height but im alittle lighter then you but i like mine, easy to butter and fun on rails.
The down side is that K2 makes heavy skis so they have weight to them but you should get them.

thanks for the answer, and the heaviness isn't a problem since I've had k2 before.

Wow son lets keep it 100! 5'4 should be on 164. Remember K2 measures differently than others so that 169 is a 171. I recommend Recoils I use 164 and I'm 5'9.

I like the press. Not too heavy, but you might want to go size 159, I'm 5'5" and it's a good size.
