Info:

Height: 5'1

Weight: 97-100lbs

Age: 14

Home Mountain: Grouse, usually 5-10 whistler trips every year

Ability: Intermediate (3's on most jumps, 5's sometimes, fs 270's out fs switch ups)

What I ski: 70% park, 15% groomers, 15% pow

Likes: soft/buttery, light, poppy, waist width over 85

Dislikes: Heavy, stiff, not very responsive, skinny waist

Current skis: 151 05/06 invaders, poppy, light, soft, but not quite fat enough, to short

theres my info, tell me if i miss anything, oh and i know a lot of people will probably say anthem, i want to know other skis that would probably be good for me

 
forgot to mention, im still growing, and if u have any ski u think i might like and are willing to sell hit me up with offers
 
I would like to say fischer misfits but I think you are too small and they may be too stiff for your liking
 
The anthems are perfect for you, with your weight they will hold up really good all over the mountain too, I think they come in a 161 so that should be a good ski to grow through for you.
 
I'm gonna go ahead and say Anthem - although a couple guys at Grouse have 'em already, they seem to fulfill your requirements.

4Frnt STL's seem pretty good, can be picked up in Vancouver, you'll be good on a 167 one (blue/white) - nice n soft, on the skinny side, though.

I've got some 165 07 Troublmakers mounted once, if you're at all interesed. Probably too skinny for your liking too though.

 
not too long ago, i was lookin for the exact same ski. we both like the same kind of ski and i ski the same stuff as u (minus the pow, i like in ct). id suggest anthems, if u like ur invaders, but u want something wider, thats what the anthems are. i just go STLs and i really like em, but u might not bc of how skinny they are. good luck with ur skis
 
thanks for offer but tm's are to skinny for my liking, im also having trouble deciding what size i want, cause a 166 would be about perfect for me, but dont anthems only come in a 161 and 171? so do i go shorter or longer? ile have to check out stl's
 
im 13 and 5'3 and i love the scott rebels, i ski them on 162, but i think they make a smaller size if you would like that
 
You're 5'1? I'd say 161... apparently they measure a bit longer too - check with James on that (he's got 171's???? dunno)

I'm 5'7 riding 171's - I like 'em my height.

 
ill play with them for the first time on wednesday, on snow demo next wednesday.

anthems run like 3 cms longer in the 178, so im feeling theyd run about the same in the shorter sizes too. i think theyd be ideal, and theyre mad cheap now
 
thanks for that, be sure to let me know how the kung fujis are, and 3 cms longer, ok so 161 would be perfect for me
