Im currently riding 168 Liberty Antigens which I really like but they were just not very durable at all. I ride mostly rails but still some jumps. (65/35 Rails/Jumps) The biggest jumps id be hitting are probably 40-50 feet but im looking for a ski that is more rail oriented so very durable, poppy and fairly soft. I do not ride much powder consider I live in the east coast so im not too worried about that Im spending 95% of my time in the park. Im 5'5'' and about 120 lbs.
Skis ive been looking at are 171 Line Travelling Circus', 171 Armada T-halls, 169/174 K2 Domain and 171 ON3P Filthy Rich. Im just trying to determine which of these are the best skis for me or if there are any other skis you guys would recommend for me, thanks.

The filthys sound perfect for you the rocker is really playful on rails and will help if you do get a little pow also since it is a little wider it helps landings on bigger jumps and keeps things stable just my 2cents though
