I am 13 and im 5,2. Im not sure what size of a ski i want or need. Right now for powder i have 155 Armada triple j's and for the start of this season coming up im getting new park skis . I want them to last about 2 years but im not sure what ones i want. I was thinking about either Line Chronics(164) or line traveling circus(161) or Line afterbangs which come in 155 and 166.

If anyone has any advice id love to here it, Thanks!

Why not save some money and get a jnr ski. That way you can ski those this season then next year when you have prob grown you can rethink what ski you want. Jnr skis are supper cheap and would be the best option for you at the moment. No point spending more on skis which may hold you back more.

The line tc isn't a bad option for someone your size. But yeah look into Jr stuff, seriously cheap and anymore look just like their big brothers.

buy something cheap because you might well hit a growth spirt soon and have the skis be too small in a year or so

Salomon threats are not a bad choice. I rode them when I was your age and I was about your size. They held up really well surprisingly, unlike my old junior rossis that I rode a few months prior, which had the edges torn out of them the second I started hitting real rails. They are also really cheap.
