I'm about 5' 2" and 90 pounds, and looking for a park ski around 145-155, ideally 150
Looking for a tough ski with solid edges, thin waist, low key graphic and lightweight. open to suggestions, into underground/small companies. Wondering about the differences between adult vs Junior skis.

I rode the rossignol scratch pro in 138 last three seasons, and looking to upgrade. I'm considering getting:

The same skis but longer, in 148

Volkl Ledge in 147

I got a pair of volkl ledges and they work pretty well. Gotta warn you tho last year I bought them new 2014s, and the last day of the season, a piece of the lamination tore off. So not very durable. Volkl was chill about it tho and sent me a brand new pair of 2016s for this year, so hyped about that. They said it was definitely a malfunction, so the ledges are a pretty good option.

I'd defiantly go with Volkl Ledge. Very durable, flexible, and all around great performing park ski. Great for anyone intermediate to advance, looking to progress.

I have volkl ledge 2014, I recommend them for this kid^, I don't hit too many rails so idk how edges hold up but they are super light and no swing weight. The topsheet isnt durable at all doe. its just a topsheet though. so it doesn't matter
