Park skis

I’m almost 17, around 160 pounds and 6’4… I’m trying to get into park skiing but am really not sure what size ski I’m looking for? I currently ski a 184 reckoner 102, and could probably get away with using it in park but am kind of looking for more of a beater ski to learn my first rails… any recommendations?

Alex hall is the same height and rides 188 from what I understand. Anything in that range or even slightly shorter given that you're learning will be fine

Nomad 95 it skis a lil short but there really good bc they carve well and you can go fast but they’re really soft and durable

The skis aren’t bad but knee bindings suck. I Remember the owning getting clowned a lot on here back in the day trying to say they’re freestyle bindings
