I am 5ft 4in and looking for some new skis. I need some where between a 148-158cm ski. I ride park about 80 percent of the time. I weigh 95 lbs and am pretty new to skiing. Any suggestions?

so im guessing your not going to be doing hardcore backcountry so id go with a nice park ski
the township is a urban/park ski, would probably be a start although it is more for urbans than mountain park im sure you would be fine riding them. http://amplid.com/ski/tsh.php
make sure you get a light ski because you are very small(nohate)

line also has some sick light skis that shreddd in the park. my friend last year got some invaders and they actually got him really good at park, take a look at the 155 line afterbangs http://lineskis.com/skis/afterbang

if you dont like either of those, what else are you more specifically interested in
