Okay ive been through this before... Im 5'3 and 130lbs. I do 80% park 50% rails and 50% smaller jumps. The other 20% percent would be pow. also, I think I want a little more pop in the ski Im getting this year. Last year I had some 2011 abangs 155. really playful... but again i would like a little more pop. If you guys could tell me what ski/size to get that would be cool.
 
ya i had a bangs.. theyre good but super heavy. my suggestion would be the armada halos, good pop, super playful, and basically no swing weight. that would help you spin a ton on smaller jumps. they are just an all around sick ski, with a ton of technology
 
You are kind of heavy for ur hieght and I usually like skis a little longer so I would go for bout 165 to 171. Closer to 160 if u are not needing a lot of speed and not wanting a lot of swing weight to spin more
 
check out some armadas they are a little bit more stiff for the person who rides park and all the park skis from armada are great skis if you want something playful, go with the Thalls or halos. if you want something thats gonna be a little more stiff for bigger jumps, ar7 or alpha1. Id recommend size 161. If you want a little less swing weight go with a 157 a lot of park skiers ride skis small.
 
No good park ski will do well in pow. Can you ski a park ski in pow yes. But do really want to? My advice is get two skis if you can. A pow and park. Pow ski 170 or plus. Park ski 170 or less.

170 halo would be a good all park ski. It's rockerd to so you don't have to worry about being to long. Plus You'll grow into it. A good intermediate park ski.

Its hard to recommend a pow ski cause everyone's taste is different. I say get a good park ski, then this winter demo some pow gear and find what you like. Then during spring sales snag a killer pow ski.
 
I would also check out the Chronics or Rossi Storms. Wider underfoot to help you out of the park but still rips in the park
