If you want a ski for all of that, check out the 178 line anthem. wide enough for the west, buttery for the park. good size for you too. i think it would be your perfect ski. and 350 bucks is good.

i'd say at 5'10 & 155 then the 178 should be good for you. and you'll want em long for the west. but 178 would be fine in the park anyway. im 5'6 and i have 171 ninthwards i use for only park and i feel i could go to 176

I'm the same hight, slightly heavier, and i have 177 walls from 2 years ago (the blue ones). i was considering the 169' but everyone here said to get the 177, and im glad i did.
