Skis For Next Season

wondering what skis i should get for next season. deciding on whether getting next years afterbangs,reno jibs,or domains. Will be my first year in the park(other than just doing 360's or just railslides when i pass through it). Will ski about 75% all-mountain and 25% park with one of theses skis. Im 5'39 (i know im short) and 100 pounds. also recommend what other ski would fit me good. If it helps i like my skis soft and light and im going to mount the skis with griffons.
 
meant 5'3 and how do the chronic cryponites sound, do you think they would be to big for rails and jumps in the park
 
they are light but are far from soft. if you want soft and light,go for the thall. the thall is a super light durable, poppy ski that can take some abuse. i think it'd be perfect and i'm sure you could rock it in a 166.
 
I have volkl ledge's and they absolutely rip! their soft but still poppy. great for rails and smaller jumps. they are simetrical though so you have to mount em center so their not the best for all-mountain. If you have an all-mountain/pow ski then you should be fine. great for park though, lots of shorter sizes too. i think its 149, 155, 162, an 168. Hold up well since their volkl's, I've put two season on them and bases are still good, no core shots. edges are still good (I'm not the most aggressive park skier and i only started going rails this year midseason). Top sheets are a different story, super chipped on both skis, like it matters though.
 
if you want an all mountain ski that can do park i rode foils for some years and loved them everywhere. they were soft but not to soft and super light because of the foam core. if you are not doing park every run those are a good choice. that or if you want something a little wider check out the atomic snoop daddy
 
if you want to ski so much all mountain i wouldnt recommend afterbangs. i have line chronics and they rip park, kickers, and groomers. check them out
 
I think you ment i would recommend chronics. also he said he likes soft skis and chronics are really stiff.
