What ski?

I'm looking for some skis to buy because my ones currently are way too small.

I ski in the pacific northwest. I'm 140lbs/ 16 yrs old/ 5'8", level 3 skier (so everything). Looking for a freestyle ski around 500.

Any ideas would help.

Depends what kind of ski you like.
Rocker or Camber?
Stiff or Soft?
Wide or Skinny?
Heavy or Light?

I'm 5'11 140 and I've ridden on a few skis that I loved

The Armada Ar7 were super durable, medium stiffness, and on the heavier side
The Atomic Infamous were super light, flex, but only lasted for a season before they started to delam at the tip.
I currently have the J ski Whipits and they are super light. Haven't ridden them yet tho so I don't know much more about them.

PM me if u have any other Qs about the skis
