I have salomon suspect skis at the moment. I am from australia so you could say the conditions are usually either rock hard or spring like. Want an all mountain park ski. Im only 160cm tall and about 63kgs. Any advice would be sweet.

if it's always hard and you don't need to worry about fresh snow ever id say just grab some decent park skis. which makes it easy since typical park skis can be found for good prices quite easily

Yeah man I'd say grab some armada arv86 in 163cm, that'd be perfect

Quick google search says those are going for 400, is that over your budget? If so I'll try to find a couple cheaper choices

For bindings I suggest look pivots or if you're looking for cheaper or lighter or just don't need bad bitch bindings like those, tyrolia attacks are a great choice
