Has anyone skied a set of bandits. I\'m about to buy a pair of junior bandits for my 16 year old newphew who is 5\'7 but 112 lbs so needs a lighter ski.
If anyone has some good info not the stats from the site about how the bandits rate in the ski world please let me know

I've ridden the old B3's and they were really fun, but I can't say I have any experience with the junior models. But if you're looking for a good ski to just ride the whole mountain with every day, the bandits are definitely a good ski to consider.

That is what my newphew dose, He bugs out in the park and scampers around the rest of the mountain like a crazy kid on sugar. But is an excellent rider.

i thnk that evn at such a light weight the junior banditsmay not be enough ski for him, a ski that he may grow out of quickly especially if he is a pretty good skier. you might want to look into some scratchpro bcs or scratch pro fs for his skill level and stats

Zack( newphew) wants his skis in the junior side because he\'s easily enough to ride both ways junior or adult so get um what he wants.

It doesn't make much of a difference. I was throwing switch 3's in powder on the 195's I was riding with no troubles other than some swing weight issues.
