I ski on the east coast. I need new skis, not sure if i wanna buy used again, and just looking for options on what would be good for me. I'm 5'7 155lbs I spend most of my skiing time in the park since my mountain is small. I can do a bunch of spins but no flips/corks/rodeos. rails only 270 ons sometimes and out. thats about it...

181 rockered on3p blue steeles 113-85-113, medium flex, super poppy, and very light. thicker edges then most park skis on the market(2.5x1.7). very low swing weight, and the rocker makes butters/presses effortless, and helps you not catch on rails.

i road 181s 4frnts this year a few times and they seemed too big. 176 volkl walls felt nice though.

on3ps also measure true to size, so a 181 is a 184 in most other brands. the 171 would work well as well
if you enjoyed the walls, I would really consider getting them, volkl makes a great ski and they are quite durable, just not as soft as some people would like

the walls are great. ar6s and LTEs are super fun too. i personally like the LTEs the best. i have been skiing on the all season and really like the flex pattern. they are really versatile and poppy. they are really fun on high speed groomer runs too. very stable at speed. there's a bunch of good skis in that category though.

not that it matters pytlar but the walls u road were 177's, and they were my old ones, and they are way stiffer than the newer ones that i have. Just get the walls, u wont be dissapointted.

if you are lookin for a super light and playful ski i would go with lte, they're stiff underfoot but soft in the tails, so you can hand jumps and still be flexible enough to do butters. With the bamboo core they definitly have a lot of pop

try to find a pair of anthems. super poppy, really nice for butters, and solid on jumps and rails. sounds like a 178 would fit you real well.
All times are Eastern (-4)
