Here's what I suggest - look for something in the 74-80mm range for the
waist, about a 108-120mm tip, with a middling flex (not soft, not
stiff).

I agree: A "midfat" is a better all around ski for the non racer than
a GS ski. They are just more fun than the old stiffy skis used to be,
especially if you start doing bumps.
I have skied for years on GS skis (Dynamic VR27, Rossi EXs, Dynastar G9) but
you'd have to pry my current twintips (Dynastar Candide) out of my dead
fingers. I don't do the terrain park so you'll have to ask one of the
"young punks" how they perform there, but I routinely ski (mostly bumps)
with them. And they hold an edge well enough that I can get a
gold medal at the local NASTAR course without trying too hard.
(This is a good way to show my kids they have some ways to go before
they catch up :-)

For info, their dimensions are (tip/waist/tail) 103/72/95 mm so basically
right around what Bob describes. Pick a ski like that between mouth and eye
level and go have fun.
