yo man any ski will work for you at your weight, just go a bit shorter since your on the lighter side.

Personally, (from what Ive heard from people and reviews) I would choose something like the Public Enemy for strictly park or the Troublemaker or the scratch. It seems like the TM and the scratch would make better all around sticks. Of course you wont be dissapointed with the 1080 either, its a great ski, regardless of what a few (or many) will say.

it also depends where you ski as well. If your on small hills you need a smaller ski and if your on mountains go a little long. Just remember the short the ski the easier to turn, the long the ski the faster you go. I'm 6 2' and 19lbs and i ski in ontario on a 169 cm 1080

if you ski alot, dont get the 1080. its a great ski until the foam core starts to break down. then it gets to be like a limp noodle and arent all that good for anything other than rock jibs
a shorter scratch would be good for you, but if you can afford the Trouble Maker, then get that. just the scratch is a great all round ski for a better price

my spaceframe 1080s were noodles after two months of riding on them.
I only ski on wood core stuff now. foam just dont snap back the way I want.
