I am about 130 pounds and 5 foot 4. I ski about 50% park and 50% all mountain. The main place i ski is at Welch and sometimes my backyard. I’m looking to get new skis this year and I’m not quite sure what to get. More specifically what width and length. I was looking at Candide 2.0 but those are a bit pricy. I don’t want to spend much over 300-350 without bindings. If anyone can help that’d be awesome.

You can get away perfectly with any twin tip ski for the type of skiing your doing. I would recommend Line skis first, Because you really have to have twin tips in the park, but they work anywhere else! For your weight/height, 157's may be a bit big, but Line Tiger snakes are the way to go. I own these same exact skis, and believe me, they can do anything park or pow! And for bindings, these Marker Squire bindings may be a bit pricey for you but are well worth the quality. I hope this helps you out, good luck!

Thanks! These were also another ski I was looking at. Do you know if there’s any difference between last year Tigersnake and this years.

There’s really not a difference between the preference of the two, just graphics.

At that price point don't mess around with squires. They use alot of plastic on those and they may fall apart. At that point spend 200 dollars and get an attack 13. Much better binding for 10 dollars more.

If you want there's last years blends for $500- will be more all mountain friendly than tiger snakes and will still be rad in the park.
