I know next season is pretty far in advance but I'm looking for what skis to get for next season. I am 5'1 97lbs and currently on 05/06 151 invaders with p12 pivots which I don’t think will make it to next season. I love invaders but after skiing them in some decent powder I figure there a bit to thin for a one ski quiver. I ski park or mess around on groomers if it’s not a pow day and powder if it is a pow day. I want a ski with an 85mm+ waist that is soft and buttery. If I don’t grow before next season I will be getting skis in size160-165cm, if grow then longer. If it’s of any help I ski Grouse Mountain and Whistler.

5'1 is a little small to be going with 165cm skis dude ya think. i mean, park skis are suposed to come up to about your nose. 165 on you would definitly be like above your head i'd think

but ya anthems. im goin with Line chronics again kuz i dont want the intense butter the anthems have, most likely. armada makes good skis too. or you could go more big name company with some like k2 fujatives or rossi scrath (or w/e they're called now)

at 97 lbs, I think you should invest in some protein powder and weights

last season when i was around 4'11 i tried my friends center mounted 163 addicts and they felt fine only to stiff but length wise they were fine, my 151's are fine for this season but i would like them to be longer for pow and groomers, stability isnt much of an issue for me, so it sounds like anthems would be good for me, anyone have any other suggestions?

Thats the biggest load of shit since that elephant exhibit had a truck remove all of the shit.

K, that was a terrible example, but there is NO WAY that the fujis will have a 95mm waist. Stop making rumours.

for the anthems, are they almost too buttery to ski groomers and pow everyonce in a while? i focus on park, but ya know like everyone i do some normal other skiing too. would the butterness of them make other skiing, especially pow skiing, horrible?

Sounds like the ARV or Anthem would be perfect. If you are feeling brave you could look at some Lizzies.

^^^i was looking at lizzies but unless i grow a few inches they would be a bit to big for me, i was also looking at the scratch brigade, does anyone know how stiff they are, cause i like the dimensions for what im going to be skiing, 98 underfoot would be good for everything
