Howdy, I'm 19 yrs old looking to get some dedicated park skis. I'm 5'0 125 lbs, and was looking around at other threads recommending vishnus & ON3P's, but their shortest ski is 171cm lol. Just wondering if anyone had some good shouts for someone my size. I'm very comfortable anywhere on the hill to reference my skill, just need some middle mounted park skis! Thanks for the help in advance.
 
Jokes aside, you could ride that length, but you may have to consider some armadas or faction. I personally have much love for the bdogs. What type of skiing are you looking to do more specifically?

do you think that length is good ?
 
Maybe k2 press. Comes in 159cm which would be just a bit shorter than you and also in 169 if you wanted to size up. Not a super beefy ski but at 125lbs youd probably be fine. Also very affordable.

Flat ass hill doesn't give a good understanding of skill level.

I'm getting into park but I'm competent everywhere else. I have Nordica unleashed 90's but they are stiff as hell and back mounted, they treat me nice anywhere but park lol.

https://www.armadaskis.com/en-ca/shop/product/bdog-ra0472.html#color=28190&size=25734 imo is a solid option, definitely a softer ski. Another pick ishttps://lineskis.com/en-ca/p/tom-wallisch-pro-skis-2024 line is bad ik, but its the smallest ski I could find. ARVs could work I would recommend maybe like the 90s, or 88. Both skis come pretty small. Last option I could think of is the Faction Prodigy 1. Hope this helps.

I mean honestly it depends, maybe see if you have a event to try skis like a demo day or ask some buddies to let you do a few laps on. Its hard to say, essentially with length comes speed and stability, which makes them better for jumps, but slower on spins. But really it doesn't matter, one of my buds used to rip like 191, 102 underfoot, he could spin better than most people i knew. So get what you want, but do your own research into the products especially on here. Look up reviews, and the quality/durability of the skis. But yeah its honestly not that huge of a deal, I've tried many skis before I found the ones I love, it may be your first and it might take 20 tries lol.
 
you could 100% get on a 171 especially something with rocker. a 171 with rocker is going to ski shorter than the advertised length only thing to keep in mind is the weight may be an issue. the l-toro from fatypus comes in a 162 as does the d-root. Both great park skis.

What skis were you looking into? ON3P does make a 161cm which may be what you need

Look no further than the Gilson fusions, light weight and designed to butter, built in the USA with a five year warranty, I was convinced to buy them from new schoolers calling them park ski of the year. As a toe rope rider I destroy skis but no matter how much I beat up my fusions they ride amazing.
