Hey guys, i cant decide what skis to get so i think ill let you decide.
im def. gonna get a size around 151. im 82 pounds.
ill be skiing jackson hole and one other place that i dont know yet.
i think it should be fat but also good for park, and all mountain, and pow.
here are my candidates:
Icelantic Pilgrim in 151
Line Invader 151
Armada El Ray 157
Lib TEch Nas Park Model 154
On3p 163

note: all skis in next yrears model
 
I definitely would not get nas, the invader would be fun but i think you would get the most versatility out of the icelantic... They would make you a better skier that one of those narrow park skis...
 
icelantic seems like a good choice for the smaller kids. shorter but still fatter
 
they come in 161s, which will end up fitting you pretty nicely, because your definitely going to grow

they are a very good ski made for smaller people....

plus its moment so you cant really go wrong
 
those ski's look really nice.
the only problem is right now im at 148 cm.
prob by the end of the summer ill be 150.
doont you think 161 would be to big?
 
sorry for double post but them only make mini invaders. if they made mini anthems i think they would be perfect for you
 
will the icelantic pilgrim's hold up in the park tho?
ill be doing about 50/50 park/bc.
i dont want them falling apart on rails tho
 
Line Anthems.

excellent park ski but wide enough for tree runs and stuff.

also wide enough to crunch right through the burliest landings

And 161 will be fine.

A longer ski is better in almost everyway.

and I bet you won't even notice the extra 10 cm....

 
ive heard mixed opinions on whether ill notice the extra 10.
i think itll deoend on howw much i grow over the summer...
 
161 seems big to you right now, but it really will be quite nice for you because you will be able to use them for at least 2 years, plus wearing bigger skis advances your level of skiing, it might not seem like it but it helps give you more control, so in the long run a bigger ski will do you much better!

so if i were you i would either get moment fast fries or line anthems both in size 161
 
true... but the icelantics make up for less length with more surface area... the pilgrims seem really versatile and also pretty cool. The anthems or moments might be good but for you will have a heavier swingweight which will slow down your rotation... go with the pilgrims!
 
hes probably not doing 9s yet being as small/young he is, and also moment skis and line skis will be waaaaaaaaaaaay light than icelantics making for a lighter swingweight
 
true, but the extra length will just make it harder for him to complete his rotation... either way a good choice...
