Skis for friend

[Octopus]

my friend cant decide what size skis to get

he weighs 90 pounds and is 4'11

151 or 161

 

[craigenemy169]

well it wud help us determine a size if you told us a lil more about your friend like his skill level the type of sking he does... but i would say go with the 161's cuz then if he grows they will last em for awhile

 

[RoFo]

I would definetly go with the 151. I guess it sort of depends on how good of a skier he is. If he feels like he can stomp yard in a 161, more power to him.

dude what a coincidence, i am '4 11''. i just went with some 151s

 

[Balto]

kina depends on some more stuff then just hight. how good is he? what will these be used for? where will they be mounted? what did he eat for breakfast last tuesday?

 

[Octopus]

he's a good skier. he does 80 40 park/ allmountain

 

[Octopus]

bbbump

 

[special_k10101]

80-40?

 

[Octopus]

80 percent all mountain 40 percent park

 

[Bodeau.]

based off those percentages id go with a 161, but for a 4'11'' kid i would go with a 151, so it depends on if he feels confortable on longer skis
