HELLO NS! I am looking into a first pair of POW skis. I have done a litte bit of research so I know the basics. I am 14 years old 5'3" and 110 lbs. I live in Coumbus, Ohio so I am looking at only 2-3 trips a year to ski powder. I also want them to ride the mountain with and mess around on. I'm thinking about going with the EP Pro's buuuutt 185 is way to big I think. I ride 164's right now. I also have to keep in mind I've grown 2.5inches in the last month. I want these skis to last a long time but I still want them to be funcinal this season. I would love for them to be noodly soft, reverse camber/ rocker. what would you guys recommend? Would 185's be too long? What would my other options be?

you dont need to spend $500+ dollars on powder skis, only to use them 2-3 times a year.

^^^^ Just rent them... Or get freestyle skis with like a 100mm waist, so you can do everything.

If you're still growing and there's only a CHANCE that you will ski powder each year, there's no reason to buy. If you get powder, try out a new powder ski each day, and then when you're actually buying one, you'll know what type of ski you like.

leave the powder skis behind and hook yourself up with some fat skis, I would recommend the  WDF Preachers-  they can feel kind of wide at first,  but once you get the hang of them they are very light and flexi compared with my other skis.
