 I'm 5 foot 9, 126 lbs and still growing, and I'm trying to decide between Rossi Scratch FS WRS and Dumonts, I can get the Dumonts in a 176 and the Scratches in 167 or a 174. I ski 90% Park, and 10 % groomed runs and powder. I dont ski any deep powder though, ecause I lve in WI.

I would, but I've been skiing on 159 fujatives for the last 2 years and I think that might be too big for me.

you do realize he's 126 pounds, this kids a fucking twig. get the 176 dumonts, should be a good size, and it won't be too small if all the rest of your growing is in the waist or only a few inches more.

174 or 176 will be good your tall but ya weight nothin, use those for a season then get something bigger once ya get a little bigger
and idk if you've checked but look at the sale getboards is having they have a ton of skis for 199 its an amazing deal
