Right now theres not a whole lot of great deals and being a shorter guy (5'5) I don't have a huge selection. I would say that I ski about 80% park and 17% trees and off trail and then about 3% urban. I would describe my ski style as scrappy with a lot of small scale sketchy ass weird tricks. Lots of spinning, lots of rails, lots of boxes, lots of spinning on rails and boxes. No huge tricks. Ive been looking at the Amrada Al Dente 2015's on evo outlet for 455, please tell me what you think and if you have other in stock options please let me know. I have between 300-600 $ but would rather keep it on the low and 156-160 as far is size goes, Thanks!

If durability isn't a big issue I recommend the atomic infamous 2016. They have them in 151 if you need it that small. These are light but quite fragile. http://www.evo.com/skis/atomic-infamous.aspx#image=94685/408595/atomic-infamous-skis-2016-176.jpg

I mean like i said most of the stuff I do is sort of rough and scrappy so durability is atlas a minor concern, ill take a look at them though thanks

I'm 5'7" and I ride 177cm volkl walls in the park and I keep my range between 176 and 182cm. I'd suggest going a little bigger and at least get 160's. It's all personal preference, but it greatly helped me on rails and landing jumps.

I'd recommend going for skis 164ish. I'd take a look at Ic3lantic Da Nollies. Very du table from rail abuse, are soft to help you land those sketchy tricks, are park oriented but 95 underfoot to tour trees, and come in a 160 or 170. I'm 5"7 and picked up the 170
