I'm about 5'2" and I'm looking for an actual powder ski at least a 115mm waist. I want it to be no more than 170 length I'm also only about 120 pounds.

+k for help

Since you're so light you're gonna want a softer flex ski like Rossi s7, salomon rocker 2 122 they come in shorter lengths. Next year the k2 shreditor which I believe will come in a 169 and the the line sick day series which will probably come in a shorter length than the opus.

My friend is selling some EP Pro shortys, he has had nothing but good things to say about them. Unless you are skiing bottomless pow every day, I feel like 115 underfoot and <170 is going to be hard to maneuver. He is around 5'5" and skied them (they are 155, so a bit short for him), they could be what you are looking for.

I ski a 190 bibby and I could ski it in all conditions. Its great on groomers and hard pack. He could get something even wider

190 at 115+ waist is going to be a lot different than 160 at 115+, at least I would think.

174 new lifes, I have the 184s and they ski much shorter than the actual length. I recommend them strongly.

There are so many sweet pow skis out these days, I would just buy used/whatever you can get a smoking deal on. Chances are you won't be disappointed and you will get a good starting point for what you are looking for in future pow skis.
