189^



but really, id get the head mojo junior ski.

its called the head mojo 65.
my shop sells them as demos and it seems like it would be perfect, it is great for all-mountain but it still has a small turned up tail in case ur brother wants to do park eventually

The kid is 7 years old and 45lbs man, he doesnt need a really specific ski, invaders are tiwns and they would be fine.

Well hes pretty big and obviously quite an experienced skier who charges pow, so id say the Line Mothership.

But really,

Invader Mini, 123cm which he could grow into abit since you want it to last a while
http://www.tramdock.com/tramdock/LIN0092/Line-Invader-Mini-Alpine-Ski-Kids.html

K2 Juvy, 119 if he wants it shorter or 129 if hes gunna grow into it.

Salomon Fish, Cant think what sizes they are.

rossi scratch brigade pros
evon tho they would be 7 inches above his head they would be fucking sick 90 under foot for his powder thirst. just center mount to make shorter

but the more believable choice is of course the bad seeds my friend had them for the season and they looked like they handled well everywhere floated in the pow spun in the park i think he'd be really happy with these
