What skis should I get?

I'm lookin for a new ski. Preferably this years so I can get it cheap at the end of the season. I'm 5"11', 160 lbs, I ski mainly rails with the occasional jump line run. Biggest jumps I'm hitting are 50-60 feet. I'm a pretty agressive skiier and just like to jib. Id like it on the softer side, or with rocker so I can get that soft feel. I also want it light as possible, pretty thin waist, poppy would be nice too. I'm lookin at this years tom wallisch pro model but there's still a lot of time in deciding what I want.
Thanks, k+ for feed back

I've been seriously been reppin this new company called Pillow Line. Right now they only have one model, the 403s but they have the perfect flex. It's def on the rigatoni side of the flex chart but they aren't too spaghetti-like. I highly recommend them, they can't hold an edge for shit

Check out the filthy riches. Nice and rockered but stable and light with a waist of 88mm under foot. You can find lots of reviews on this site of the filthy riches.

I would help you out with mid-fats but thinner wastes aren't my area of expertise... I will say the Kung Fujas (shreditor 102s) are amazing and don't ski like 102s on hard pack but hopefully someone else can give you some good advice!

Don't wanna make another thread, so I'm gonna bump this one. It's time for me to get some skis, and filthy riches are gone. Any other skis that you guys would recomend that fit my specifications?

i got 9wards for cheap and i love them. Been out over 30 times, pounded the shit out of them, and there arent any edge breaks. They are pretty flexy, thin, and light.
