i'm 13, 5 foot(im short),and 95 pounds. I'm getting a powder ski but dont know what ski to get for 50% park and 50% all mountain. I would like a ski with rocker but probaly there is know ski that would be in my size. I want to get a ski with 90-100 at waist but dont know what to get. So what size ski should i get and what model of ski?
 
my brother is your height and skis 155 salomon thrusters. there are not many all mountain skis (to my knowledge) that are short enough for you. 165 arv is the shortest that i can think of. for your weight though, a 161 stiffish park ski would be a fine all mountain ski
 
if you want something rockered, surface next life comes in 160, has early rise, and is 100 underfoot. imo you could do a 171 jmo if you really want. might be a bit long for park, but good allmountain and you get used to the length
 
i had 145 nex lifes this year a loved the for powder and all mountain but for park were just to stiff
 
they are coming in 145 and 155 and are 107 at waist which is to close to my powder ski.my powder ski is going to be the sir francis bacon 162
 
i have k2 extremes 159 im like 5'4 and there a decent size, there a pretty good all mnt ski, okay for park, kinda heavy.
 
K2 Bad Apple. Freakin' sick. Powder Rocker, 100mm underfoot, siiiick top sheet and I'm pretty sure they come in lengths that will suit you.
Put a Marker Squire on it and you're in business.
The other ski to look at would be the Volkl Gotama Jnr but it's a pretty ruthless plank.
 
The 163 Chronic cryptonite maybe? Or would you consider those too big? You are probably gonna grow some, and I think it would be a waste buying two skis for next season, and then ending up with both being to short when '12 comes around..
 
Check out the Armada T Halls - 83 underfoot and 166 in length - that may sound long for your height but they ski short so you should be good. Super fun to ride in the park and just a solid all-around ski. I use them most days and the JJ's for pow days - works out great
 
If you want a bit shorter than 166, you should also take a look at the rossi s3's - comes in 149 and 159, 98 underfoot - another sick ski and real good for what you're looking for.
