It's getting closer and closer to ski season and im lost on what ski to get.
I want something light and fairly buttery- Im 5'6" 130lbs
I also want a symmetrical ski as I plan to centermount them.
Mostly park skiing and I don't want invaders or anthems so don't suggest them.

Thanks for any help I get.

urban punx, not perfectly symmetrical but you can definitely center mount ( I went plus 1.5 but that's just me). Really light, durable (edge reinforcement) and mad buttery but will hold up on jumps for sure.

Armada AR6's or ARV's depending on how much you ski outside of park

I'd go with the disorderlys. I flexed them in my shop and they had a medium-soft flex, and from what i've heard. they have good pop. They are symmetrical, but they were a little on the heavy side.

Hahhahahaha damn dude, you don't want to break the bank and want a symmetrical ski.  You already eliminated your best choices- Invader or Anthem.  Good luck dude, I know you don't want them suggested so go ahead and get all pissed at me for telling you you're leading yourself down the wrong path.  Get an Invader or Anthem, $300 for a sweet pair of skis seems like a damn good deal to me.
