if your 5 10, 160, DO NOT GET A 170ish ski!! way to short. trust me. my personal recomendation would be this years STLs, in a 183, mounted 2 back. by far one of the lightest, most poppy, agile park skis ever, and it can actually be used all over the mt. pipe cleaners dont make sense for park, the bases are tougher but also thinner and harder to repair. (thinner edges as well). the Thall, eh, never been a fan of armadas. they are ok skis, but definatly not as good as people talk them up to be. but do not get a shorter ski. its retarded.
