Need to buy new skis

With my current skis they are very beat up and delaminating so I think its time to buy new ones. I am 5'6'' (167cm) 180lbs - 185lbs (81kg - 83kg) expert skier that skis all mountain but I definitely stick to park skiing 90% of the time. I was thinking of 171cm allplay skis from j skis. Would this be a good purchase, if not any other recommendations?

Since you're pretty heavy i'd recommend skis 180 or bigger

I know i am late but I thought I would help you out a bit. Kids who j off to Armada can stick to the "park." If i were to recommend something it would be the 2020 poacher. Dope graphic, a little stiffer since you are a bit heavier. Probably go for a 173-177 if I were you. The poacher is very built and durable for tree skiing as well as park. The 2020 graphic is dope so I would wait for that.
