I've been thinking about buying a new pair of skis. I've been thinking of getting Atomic Infamous 151, Surface Next Time 155 (i have heard these have poor quality, but since they are pretty cheap...) or Scott Rebel 152. what ski would be the best for me? I'm about 5 feet tall and weight about 77 pounds.+K for answers.
 
In normal alpine skiing I'm advanced, but in park i am beginner. I pretty much do jibs, rails, small/medium jumps.
 
Infamous sounds like it would hut home for you. They're also mot very expensive, so don't pick the Surface skis because of price.
 
Have you considered Jnr skis? They will save you even more money and will quite probably ride better for you at your size as they will be softer. Are you in adult boots yet or are you using kids boots and bindings still?

of those 3 though I would go infamous, its the best price point ski out at the minute imo

 
Well Rebels and Next Times are Jr. skis, but i have also considerd of buying K2 Bad Seed 149/159.

My boots are Atomic Overload Startups and my old skis and bindings are k2 juvy w/ marker fastraks.
 
Ok cool, I was not sure about the surface or scot skis. Are you planning on also upgrading boots and bindings too? Boot wise your pretty well set, those boots should have the adult norm sole, so you could upgrade to an adult binding. How old are you? If you are around 13-14 then it may be time to move up to adults gear, but you certainly dont have too. Kids gear will be cheaper and generally ski for someone your size, better then an adults ski.

Maybe look at the Armada coda, the K2 bad seed and maybe somthing like the salomon thruster (technically adult, but foam core and very light)
 
Yeah, I'm buying also new bindings. I'll buy boots only if my feet grow. I just turned 15, but since i'm pretty small, i'll propably just buy another setup of jr. skis. K2 bad seeds seem like a good choice. Are the k2 press about the same? They have same dimensions, but the construction is pretty sure different. And they are pretty sure somewhat heavier.

What bindings would you recommend for me?
 
honestly man just get a pair of line skis, like this years future spins or something. line are durrable as fuck, pretty well priced, and a quality ski.
 
Nah, i don't want to be the kid with skis to his knees next winter, since the tallest Future Spin Shortys are 147. But afterbangs might be good in 155. Probly just gonna buy new skis next fall.
