I'm amusing you are in grade 6 based on your choice of words and sentence structure. You don't really need two separate sets of skis because based on your profile you live in Regina where there wouldn't ever be any powder to slay you should just stick with the skis you have and buy a go pro.

Is it a trip once or year where the skis "might" be useful. Where a go pro would be able to be used during the summer time also if you longboard or bike..

you can usually find powder if you know where to look but i dont want opinions of park skiers because most are narrow minded and probly havnt felt the joy of landing big jumps/drops into DEEP powder

Go pro seems to be a better purchase but you can pfobaly just get the he hero used and a pair of the shortys cheap and then have both.

Also how big do you go on a ski that is 155 cm long?

thats a good idea and pretty big seeing as landing in deep pow doesnt usually hurt if you dont get twisted up +k to you

whats your height and weight?

i just saw that you are going to buy kids pow skis, that is pretty dumb. something that short is going to dive like crazy.

i have 185 jjs and they are a little to short for me. im 5'11''

and where are you going to go on vacation? do you go to this place every year? because i highly doubt that a tourist is going to find good powder weeks after a storm.

im only 5' 5" around 115 lbs so i dont need 185s but the 2012 jj's look pretty sick and i thnk i could handle a 165 but is there any skis you can recomend with a 105+ waist at max 169 length
and we always go to banff and ski sunshine and we usually go to whitefish in montana plus my schools outdoor club always goes to fernie or kimberly for 4 days a year so i know the place pretty well

thanks
