Need Rec's: Good park ski for petite girl

hey y'all,

some of you may have spotted my thread earlier in the week bout my '09 line shadows being pinched before i even had a chance to mount my bindings, let alone ride them :( however moving swiftly forward i'm on the hunt for another pair of park skis... the tricky part is i'm only 5" 1' (153cm) and 110 pounds, but so many great adult ski's generally start about 160-something. Not too stoked on riding park ski's taller than my height, or guys ski's which are geared toward someone heavier and are a fucking chore to manoeuvre.

Sooooo it'd be super helpful if anyone would post any reccommendations for a park specific ski from about 148 - 153cm (doesn't have to be an excellent all mountain performer or anything, cause i have others for that)

ohhh and below are the few i've been coming across in that size that seem kinda worth considering so if anyone has any words of praise or hate for any of them just holler, always good getting a broad perspective!

- '09 volkl pearl 148cm

- '10 k2 missconduct 149cm

really not that excited about any of the above though so any other suggestions would be awesome! oh and is getting another pair of shadows a bnd idea? im worried losing them kinda means i wasnt meant to ride them, superstitious and silly i know, still playing at the back of my mind tho.....
 
haha cheers dude, somewhat familiar with the line shadows, the '08-'09s are the ones i had stolen earlier this week!
 
heyyy no worries, yeah i'm leaning heavily toward them again, i'm just being gay and superstitious about them being taken maybe being a sign hahaha so stupid they're clearly the only park ski in my size that excites me
 
im 5' 1'' as well but at 120

i highly recommend the volkl pearls. i have them (08) and theyre awesome mine are 158. i also have the hellbents and kikus in 169. but for park the pearls are a good solid ski.

another ski to look at are the roxys. yea people are like "omg such a typical girl ski" they really are a nice ski, im probably going to buy the roxy brook stix this summer

go with the pearls.
