Hey all, I'm a former east coast rider (Mount Snow), but just moved to SoCal. I'm really excited to try Big Bear and Snow Summit, but need new skis. This is my first time buying new skis, been riding these small boys for 8 years:

I'm 5'8, 145, looking to try out a ski thats actually as taller or taller than me.
I'm really looking to get into park, mainly jibs. I'm starting park a little late (21) even though I've been doing all mountain for a bunch of years and would consider myself to be a higher skill level at it. Taught myself railslide, shifty, 1, 3, and basic grabs though so I'm not a total beginner now. I still want to be able to ski most terrain, love side hits, but mainly want to spend most of my time in the park.
Skis of interest:

I've loved the look of the CT 1.0 since I saw AHall riding em in a video I can't remember. They're a very different ski from what I've been riding, but I really want to try something new. I found an awesome deal on the 182s and I wanted to know if they would be good for my situation or if I'd be screwing myself over and should get something else. Would also love to just hear what people who've ridden them think of these, all the internet reviews are on the 2.0s.
Thanks for reading my essay
