I'm looking for skis for my little brother. He's 5'4" 100lbs and is just getting into park skiing. I was thinking the rossi scratch girl fs for him because I can get them with demo bindings for a good price and they will grow with him. Plus those skis graphics aren't half bad for a guy.

i freakin love the graphics on that ski. if they were my size, id ride um.

for his wieght it wouldnt be a bad ski at all. as for demo bindings, dont. they are soooo heavy, and ride so bad, they are just gonna slow him down. your better to just get a pair of p10s or something, and either remount um or something. those bindings can be snatched for like 80 bucks new on ebay. as for skis, just buy as cheap as you can get, since hes growing. last years stuff, slightly used, etc, no reason to spend money on real expensive new stuff when hell grow out of um in a year.

Your brother is like 160 cm tall so just get him some guys skis around 160. The womens skis are designed differently to account for the different weight distribution, (badonkadonk, etc).
