Replying to Urban skis advice

Cptn.J:
Hey NS. I'm looking to get into some urban stuff this season because with La Nina we're supposed to get a dump of snow in the city. I'm looking for some advice as to what kind of skis I should get and how tall they should be. I know urban skis can get trashed pretty quick but should I consider getting another pair of boots in case the same happens to them? And are there any differences one would want to have between strictly urban skis vs. park skis (length, width underfoot, etc)? Because I'm prob also gonna want to use these in the park on those non-powder days.

I'm 6'2" tall at a meager 160lbs (72.5kg). Currently I ride 2010 Kung Fujas at 179cm and Salomon Shogun boots.

Thanks
