I am looking at new skis and i was thinking of the codas. i am 90 pounds, 13 years old.  I mostly like jumping but i do rails alot too.  any comment on if these skis would be good for my riding and age and weight.

Don't buy a ski you will outgrow in a year. I've done it myself and its not fun. And as for the coda its a jr. ski and has that crappy core. Just get a smaller sized ar7 you can use for a couple years.

I know, just giving him the reasoning behind the advice so that way he can see the big picture and it makes more sense to get a bigger size ski and more appropriate quality ski for his age and goals within skiing.

im 5'2 and i ride 160s. I had Codas 2 years ago. Get adults skis like ar7s or Rossi storms or rossi scratches, theyll last way longer than the codas

The ar7s might be a bit stiff for someone youre size to manuver easily in the park, the t halls sound better for you seeing as you are small so you dont need a stiff big air ski to do big air jumps and they will do well on rails too. If you want to speand more you can get the pipe cleaners which have the race base and an in between flex btween the ar7 and t halls, you will be happy with any of these ski though

4FRNT's a good company. If you aren't very experienced/aggressive or do a lot of all mtn. go with the 157 Click! great, soft ski. If you're one of those crazy good little kids that throw down crazy shit than the 157 Switchblade would be a good choice. OR the Armada El Rey for all mtn/some park

Im 5,4 and i ride Rossignol Storm in the 170 length. Just buy a ski thats got low swingweight and you wouldnt recognize the added length plus you get more flotation in the pow and a bigger platform.

Thats are really big skis for how tall you are. Stores like sporting life, ao, and skis and bikes tell me 150 to 155
