yea i would say they are a pretty decent ski for park.  they are kinda on the soft side but not too soft. they would be good for you in a 169.

I had a pair of the 06/07 and they're unchanged since. Everyone assumes they're soft. They're not. Stiffer than a Fuyjative but not quite as stiff as the PE. They ski alright, and pretty durable.

i would look at something wider
at your size, line anthems would be a solid shot.
i like last years, with the wolf graphic.

if you plan on skiing all park, their soft, not that soft though, they honestly do pretty well on east coast ice and groomers. i've had mine for 2 years and they've held up great. great price also.

Maybe at your weight they might feel stiff but for me they were actually really nice. good pop but their durability is semi questionable. Top sheet is pretty soft and the bottoms are butter soft. Not awesome in anything over 4-5 inches but held up nice on the ice and chatter and crud. But for the money you can't beat them. The ski is unchanged so get last years in a 169 for cheap.

Your getting more than you pay for. . .

It's pretty much a capped version of the old PE.  Some call it skinny, but I skied powder on the PEs for like 3 years, so it can be done.

If your looking for a price point ski their a decent option. They are NOT SOFT! Soft is fujatives, invaders, etc not silencers. They are a little heavy and on the stiff side but they're a good option if money is short. However if you have the cash there are alot more fun park skis out there.

I have never ridden the silencers before, but I have always loved the simple graphics I wanted to buy the oroginal silencers for my quiver, just because they look soo damn good.

ahhahahah

seriously though... they are sick

He's right, but It seemed to me the noses of my PEs were softer then Silencer noses but the PE was stiffer in the tail. That was when my PEs were broken in for like 1.5 years though. The Silencers are a decent ski for park, the stiffness is nice on landings, they do rails fine, like any ski, and they are ok on groomers and actually pretty good in bumps too, I find. They don't really have that much pop though.
