^ya anthems are good, cus they are really wide... they were mede to stomp landing in soft deep snow, so you will be good in pow with them.

Loonshredder u could go with maybe the Line Elizabeth 172cm tall,  the Moment Reno Rocker,  Uhhhhh k2 Hell Bent might work but that would be a sort of bad idea,  line fir francis bacon,   What size ski are u on now? like wat range of heigth are u in 170cm or 180cm? cause that would help me alot.   I wish a company would make a freakin pow pow ski for kids and teens!!

the 09 lizzies are so sick (not that they are any different from the 06/07 07/08) but they were so much fun everywhere i took them. dont listent to people that hate about skiing them in the east. i took them in powder ice groomers park and loved them everywhere so dont be scared to ski them in the east

there isn't a market for it. What concerning mother will let their child out in 2 feet of fresh? Also with the lack of wieght you don't need the fatness. A 130 pound kid will preform ROUGHLY the same on an 90 waist as a 200 pound guy on a 130 waist. Smaller guys dont need the surface area in pow. What you should do is look the smaller skis in the adult line and check their specs. the 171 reno (jib) has an 88 waist as opposed to the 86 of its big brother to make it more pow friendly. Also when you make it into the 160cm range for skis your in the adults anyway.
