Help me choose a new ski

[Peter.]

I need a new ski for the upcoming season.

I am 15 years old, and weigh 150 pounds, and am 6 feet tall. I ski 90 percent park, and 10 percent groomers / trees / messing around. I live in NY, so east coast stuff. I had the flyers last year, and they are way too short now. I want a ski that skis nicely center mounted. I have narrowed it down to the following skis. I want something light, and soft but not too soft, and with nice pop. I am liking skis that are semi wide, like 90ish waist, that are still made for park.

1. Line Anthem

2. Fischer Addict

3. Ninth LT

4. Ninth Firstblood

5. Line Invader

6. The new K2 symmetrical ski

7. The new Salomon symmetrical ski

The ski will be center mounted, I just need help with the sizes.

thanks.

I think a 178 invader would be good for you.

i think 178 athems would be ur best choice.

 

[Peter.]

i just dont want them to be too heavy

 

[Grodent87]

They won't be. For sure.

 

[Celone]

anthem and invaders= 2 of the lightest skis out there, line = VERY LIGHT WEIGHT

 

[poofartpee]

for ski size go around 180

[Mr.LemonPie]

anthems are so light and fun, and for your height/weight the 178 is perfect, and a symetrical ski is perfect center mounted...

 

[Peter.]

i just dont want them to be too wide, but i hear that makes them better on rails

 

[Aspreter.]

lol

 

[killabees]

i beleive you would enjoy anthems/sickvaders either or are sickk

 

[Peter.]

yeah i have been liking the anthems more and more every day

[Mex_LineJib^a]
