Answer:
These are the two I can suggest K2 Park star for Reverse Camber and centered base GNU pickle, no wide option, just like skate banana since I used them being home to the first chairlift in the world, Sun Valley Resort has become the oldest existing and operating ski resort in the U.S. where skiers of all ages can take advantage of excellent skiing areas. The resort also holds two of the best skiing mountains of the state namely: the Dollar Mountain and the Baldy Mountain.

Smaller boards is less mass and size which allows better handling at low speeds. Dont expect to win a race down a mountain. I would reccomend a lib tech skate banana for good rocker with sintered base K2 Darkstar for Flat camber and sintered base K2 Parkstar for Reverse Camber and sintered base GNU pickle, no wide option, just like skate banana I have a K2 Darkstar 157 W, im 6' 5'' and 175lbs 12 inch boot, i had a longer board (Forum Recon 161 W) with camber and hated it. I love the K2 Darkstar because it is excellent in the park while i can still race my buddies and win. Flat camber is best of both worlds of reverse and camber. Flex is medium but i sense it a bit soft but excellent. Tons of pop thanks to their technology, no problems thus far this year. My friend has a pickle and he loves it. Rocker is better for loosy goosy feel, harder on black diamond runs to handle. *********** Since your gonna keep your bigger board, you can get away with a 155 for the parky stuff. If your only gonna have one board, id go bigger than 155 for sure*************** My forum recon had EXTRUDED base and was easily destroyed. Sintered base all the way.

Well first of all, how tall are you? A 162 for park is a pretty huge board. I'm 6' 1" and I ride a 155 for rails, 158 for park. You need to decide if you are going to hit more of rails, boxes and small jumps, for which you would want a smaller more flexible reverse camber (rocker) board, or if you are going to hit bigger jumps and bigger rails, which you would want a tad longer and a tad stiffer overall. Also keep it cambered (no rocker). For the first option, I would go with something like a k2 WWW, rome artifact, or Automaton manimal. All boards I have ridden and are great. For the second option I would go with a Rome Agent, K2 darkstar or Automaton Mixed signals. If you are kind of stuck between the two options, the K2 parkstar and Rome Agent rocker are both excellent boards that are a tad stiffer but have reverse camber for locking in those presses. I have ridden all of these boards except the Agent rocker and K2 darkstar and they are all wonderful boards.
