Is there a junior Fat ski(under 170 cm)
Im helping my friend. he's currently riding thebiggest size for the ar3(151?) and there up to his chin. his weight is around 100lbs and he drops cliffs and shit, so hes looking for fatter skis.
We ski kicking horse so our percentage is 40% allmountain and 60% big mountain
i dont know what else to add or if there is such a ski
he's also currently looking at a pair of beths

Maybe you shoudl spend your time actually reading posts instead of advertising.
He said UNDER 170, when the smallest size of both those skis are 180. And this kid doesnt sound too tall so 170 still might be a little big. My suggestion goes for the Scratch BC Prop or whatever the heck they call it, the little one. I heard from someone that they're essentially teh same as the old Scratch BC which would be pretty darn banging.

if 151's are up to his chin, elizabeths would be great skis for him. a little longer, probably around his head, and they're wide. but they're soft, so even if he's little he can muscle em

Maybe if you would keep you mouth closed and maybe you could learn something.
If the kid is super hard cor pow skiier he could ski a 180 so problem but there is also the 170 and special orders can be made bcause ALL SKIS ARE HAND MADE.
Second, its my job to promote.
