Since you're so light I think foils or fujas would be sick. Maybe scratch fs from what I've hard, although I don't have any experience with those so I dunno.

buy Malone's 172 chronics for 125 shipped. they would be perfect for your size.

absolutley not...all skis are not the same on rails...that is like saying all skis turn the same...(im talking edge durability)

and i would reccomend either something like the invader, or if u wanted something stuffer, go chronic...but there are tons of skis that u should look at like the foils, PEs, etc, that will handle just fine out the park, and very well within it.

foils are dope on rails cuz they're light so you can spin on/off easy and switch up and all that good stuff.

im pretty sure he meant durability wise...some might last a bit longer than others but all skis will get raped on rails
