when you say skis mostly park, do you mean he can ski the park, or he'l actually hit the jumps and rails properly, or atleast attempts too

also, what age

The Invader Minis are probably the best choice for sure.

the invader minis arent bad. depends on how much the kid wants to ski park tho. center mounted is built for the park, not so much groomers, well the whole ski just isnt really meant for groomers. however, its generally light and very soft so itl help in the park. if you get last years make sure the green is forward and pink behind. in the reg sizes you can put em either way, but the minis arent supposed to be pink end forward. dunno why, but thats what the line reps have said.

moment fast fries, at a 160, he will grow into them and they will be perfect halfway through the season, they are perfect for him.

this kid was previously skiing on k2 juvys from like 2006 i believe, the blue ones. and they were pretty short like 142 i believe. so i'm thinking 160 would be a big jump

id say move out of the juniour stuff. i think he could prolbly handle the smallest size in the regular invader. and hes gona grow a ton really soon. so he will be able to grow into them and not have to get new skis mid to

I'm not going to recommend a size, but at 13, I'd watch out on sizing because as a few have said, he's likely going to grow like a weed pretty soon.
