i have the salomon mynx's and they are pretty good in park and are wider than most park skis so they're good for powder too. they ride super good all around. also the salomon scarlets are a powder ski that are pretty good on jumps...

yeah..i'm lookin for new skis too. they'd have to be pretty cheap, but here's info.
i'm 5'5", about 150 lbs, i ride in the west, Mt Baker, and i don't do very much park, but i'm getting into it a bit this year...i like riding switch, i spend a lot of time in soft snow.
i want something with a reasonable amount of flex.

The 152 are a 76 waist, my little sister uses these this ski for big mt. and park (but she's just started getting into park this season) and she likes her shadows a lot she said. The 157 and 167 are 80 under foot.

i would totally get the mynx! they are soo flexy and pretty forgiving if you're just learning how to ride park. they're super easy to control and aren't made like the spk or temptress which aren't made for riding out of the park.

My girl rides AR6's and for her weight, they are 'fat' enough for pow days.

i don't think anyone's mentioned this already (correct me if i'm wrong)... i know the arv isn't a women's specific ski, but i think last year's or this year's could be a good choice for you. it's soft, comes in a 165, and is perfect all around if you are gonna be skiing some all mountain and powder but also like to ski park. i believe the 165 has a 89mm waist which will be enough for you to float decently in pow but it is also really lightweight and has a fun flex for park.
