Help a little guy out

Alright, I am an east coast skiier, And for the most part i butter alot. In addition to this, I am 5'1" and 100 pounds, and I ski about 4 to 6 times a week. I was wondering if any of you guys knew about a ski that is very light, very buttery (Butter Zones) And very soft, since it is obviously harder for a little guy to get a stiffer ski to flex. I was thinking about the T-halls, and I had the volkl walls, which were great for buttering, but I was wondering if there was anything better and possibly softer. Thanks for reading, +K for helping me out.

Alright guys, thanks alot for the help +++K. I've heard that the T-hall has a stiffer tail though, and isn't symmetrical. However, I am looking for a symmetrical flex and shape ski that is at the smae time super soft, buttery and possibly has rocker/butterzones and is light. What about the K2 Press?

I would, but they're too heavy and too stiff for what I want.

masterminds are softer than abangs.. and masterminds are not close to the stiffer end of things, they are flat-out noodly. plus they're a completely different construction than abangs.

ppl that are recommending skis dont forget about this kids size... half these skis dont come in a length proper for him. Go with a 157 LTE from liberty if you want something on the long side. On the short side check out the Armada Coda in a 150.

Oh, alright, I'm pretty interested, I'm going out to a ski shop to try some skis there, and if I don't find anything I'll let you know.
