Hi I am currently riding some k2 juvys and wanted to get some new skis that are perhaps a little more flexy and park friendly. My current ski level is decent, I can do ski slides on both rails and boxes and i can do 360s and almost nail 540s of jumps. PLease help and thank you in advance.

Other details:
I am 100 pounds and 5 foot 4.

How decent is decent? You're looking for a beginner ski. I can recommend the Armada El reys. It's not a high level park ski, but it's built just right for your riding ability and it is a great all mountain ski.

At your size I say find a ski between 150cm-160cm. I say go 160 cause you'll grow fast and need to size up anyway. I looked at evo.com in your size range and just grabbed few links of skis that would be good.

http://www.evo.com/skis/line-mastermind.aspx

Out of these the rossi scratch will be the stiffest but proably the longest lasting. The Line mastermind will have the most buttering ability but it might be dead by end of the season.

I gonna bet your gonna ask about a binding later so I'm gonna go ahead recommend a 10 din binding now
. Here are two I'd recommend. Rossignol and Salomon
