Please help me select skis (for slalom)

I've been skiboarding for 5 seasons now. For those of you who don't know, skiboards are short, fat skis with non-release (usually) bindings. I would consider myself at least high intermediate level on these.

Recently, I went for two runs on a NASTAR slalom course. My time was very high even though I own the top of the line skiboards and I felt like I was going really fast. So now I'm looking for a pair of fast slalom skis.

My height is 5'8" and I weigh 170 lbs. (in normal clothes).

I would like to get a pair of skis that will perform very well in the slalom and good on the rest of the mountain. Please recommend some skis and lengths to me. Thanks.
