Hey, I'm 13 and about 5'6". Looking for anything not too pricey that's 12/13. Pretty aggressive intermediate/expert skiing anywhere from a little park, mostly glades/on and off piste skiing and a little pow (but I don't want/need a dedicated pow ski. I'm interested in the Armada tantrum but I'm not sure about sizing so any advice (on skiis or size) would be awesome and +k.
Thanks, nikoosh.

I would recommend blends but nit sure how small they make them. And if you are 5'6 you should not get a youth ski

You know I'm just not a huge line fan. And you really think 156 would be to big? I only weigh like 115ish..

You could get away on a youth ski this year, but I doubt it'll fit you next year if you're growing.
