I’m 5’9” 150lbs. I’ve been skiing for 12 years and just got into park. I pretty much only ski east coast.

Somewhere in the mid to upper 170s range would do you well.
Can depend a bit on what ski in particular. If you have your eye on anything, we can help recommend the right size.

Any thoughts on what ski? depending on the flex and rocker profile a lot of skis will seem bigger or smaller

I was looking at the Magnus 102. I want something that’s playful but can still do all mountain. Open to any suggestions

For the Magnus 102, the 176cm length would be a good pick for you!
You're pretty light, so the 181 might be overkill, especially in the park, but the longer rocker will make it ski shorter.

Maybe check out the jeffery 96. It apperently rips all mountain while also being great in the park.

Do you think going with the 181 will significantly impact my skiing over the 176

Not really it's just 1 inch on each end. But it will feel just a little bit longer and heavier.

You will look at least 10x cooler on 181s
