Never skid those but I like my surface double times and I skid the surface one time (they have rocker and camber) and they were soo fun. They also ski short so don't be scared of the dimensions. I'm also the same height and weight as you.

I'd reccommend Bothe of these skis for 60% out and 40% in. Sorta depends where you live. I'm in utah and like to have a one ski quiver and we get a lot of pow occasionally here.

i looked, the only size i can find is 170 or 180. 160 is already a little long for me, do you know a place with smaller sizes??

The smallest double times are 160 but trust me you get used to them and end up feeling kinda short. Dub times: http://shop.freeskibrands.com/index.php?product=DT&c=3

http://shop.freeskibrands.com/index.php?product=CO-DT-ANT&c=3 and http://shop.freeskibrands.com/index.php?product=CO-DT&c=3 are last years double time. I have last years Anthony b double times. These two links are cheaper because they are last year models.

If you are a 3+ skier I would not buy the K2 presses for an all mountain ski even though you don't weigh very much. I would look more at the Missdemeanor and the Armada ArvW for skis in that waist range, where do you ski?

http://shop.freeskibrands.com/index.php?product=OT&c=3 and these are one times. Don't be scared of the length. Since they are 3stage rocker they ski super short and are a pit heavier but definitely better if you're venturing more into pow.

The Press is a real beginners park ski. If you are able to up your budget you'd be much better off with either the Miss Demeanor (http://www.evo.com/skis/k2-missdemeanor-womens.aspx#image=57526.Size.LengthCM_149_Image.jpg) or the Libery Envy (http://www.evo.com/skis/liberty-envy-all-mountain-womens.aspx#image=59141/301578/liberty-envy-all-mountain-skis-women-s-2013-front.jpg)

But if the choice really is between just the Press and the Atomic's, i'd go for the Press.

The liberty ^ has bamboo which is sick. I've also heard really good things about the salomon rockette. There's a 90 waist width model, although its more of an all mtn charger, with asymmetrical tips like its brother the Rocker2 90.
