Every ski is stiff if you weigh 120. Look at chick skis; ARW 86, Line HoneyBee, etc.

Before you say ''fuck off bro, I'm not buying chick's skis!'' you may seriously consider it. I did when I bought my last pair and I weigh 20 lbs more than you.

Also some of the topsheets are fairly neutral and shopping the long end of the ladies ski size range means you can scoop some serious deals.

There is a guy trying to sell his custom softened up Kartel 98 on here. Sounds like you are the perfect person for it.

I don't really. I ended up buying ARV 96 but I looked at Faction Heroine, Black Crows Camox Birdie, and Atris Birdie, and a few others. I was looking for a very light weight ski for playful all mountain use. I don't ski park and have since bought a wider pair of playful big mountain skis for deeper and steeper stuff though still plan to use the ARV 96, especially early in the season and for spring slush.

Vishnu wet, you're light, so you might not flex much but they're full rocker, so they'll be playfull. And the 177 rides short
