but since im a nice guy--no joke get the moment pika. its a woman's ski but is exactly what your looking for besides the rocker. and yea its got the island tropical girly graphics but w/e, if you can ski them well no ones gonna give a shit. plus i think you may have trouble finding a ski that fits all those specs and is in your size range. (im guessing your looking for something around 170 or a little shorter) and if your stoked on the ski but really arent liking the graphics then i bet if you talked to one of the dudes from moment they would hook you up and put the ruby graphic on the pika ski because they're amost idenical dimensions and the guys @ moment are straight ballin. you can check out the '09 graphics in the 08/09 gear preview.

sorry, but you're too small to need a full on pow ski. a 90 waist will do you JUST fine, especially if you "just want to get into powder."
