can't exceed 158?

If you want us to recomend skis, throwing out a length doesn't mean anything. Give us Height/weight/ability. When you say begginer do you mean to skiing or the park? There is a huge difference plus there really isn't a curve, you can ski on "advanced" park skis just fine, some of them just are more specialized and aren't as responsive on other terrain.

Just making a guess, but you'll probably want a softer ski rather than a stiffer ski.

I started skiing last year and had 09 volkl pearls, they're super fun and pretty soft definitely a beginner ski imo.. i wouldn't ski anything other than groomers or park on them tho, they will be the death of you if u ride anything of piste with any kind of powder.. but I progressed really quickly with them :)

My opinion, go to your local shop, tell them your story (height, weight, etc.) and see what they recommend, but make sure they're not just fooling you into spending money that doesn't need to be spent.
