I'm looking for new park skis for next year. I've been skiing for a few years. I'm 16, weigh 160, am 6 ft tall. I'm looking for anywhere between 161 and 170 cm that are decently light, durable, fat, and look somewhat good. Price isn't really an issue. If anyone has any ideas please let me know!

Between 160 and 170 would definitely be too short for you, especially if you're looking at powder skis.

The Atomic Punx is definitely a great option. Super durable but still light and playful. Surprisingly good out of the park too. If you can get a good deal on the 2014s, go for it. I know Backcountry has them for $290 and free shipping. I got mine for $235 shipped with bindings.

A 161-170 park ski is shorter than any ski my wife rides and she's 5'7" and 125lbs. At center mounted park ski rides short any way. With rocker, even shorter. Anything less than the 180 range is way too short for you.
