EDollo sizing dilemma

I’m 15 years, 5 foot 4 (162cm), 110 lbs, I am still growing and cannot decide which size I should get for my EDollos 164 or 172. I don’t want to out grow my ski in one season but also want to be able to be comfortable and flex my skis. I am an advanced skier but just starting out on park and freestyle. My main interest is learning butters and just having a good playful time on side hits all over the mountain. Which size should I get? Will a 164 still be good if I grow 2-3 inches?

172 might work but 10cm honestly sound a bit big (depending on your style). Try to contact armada, I did so myself for sizing 2 seasons ago. Worked out great

You’re 15 so really right in the peak of puberty/development so it’s pretty likely you’re gonna grow those couple inches that you’re talking about. Personally I would go 164. Although it will feel a little big to start, i think you will thank yourself later

Do you think that the 172 would be too big because I feel like the 164 will only last me one season.

172 would be pretty big for you being 162 tall. Especially because they’re a wider ski they will be heavier. But all of that stuff is subjective, like what are you skiing on now? Do you consider yourself an expert skier and have strong legs? These are all factors that have to go into the decision

I’m advanced and have demoed up to a 168 last season but those were really rockered. I am beginner in park though and that is kind of what I want to work on this season.

I think if you’re just getting into park, if I were you I would most likely go for the 164’s. For park skis people typically ski a ski that’s around 5-10cm shorter than them but that’s also very debatable depending person to person. With the 164 you still have room to grow and the skis will fit you fine. I do think they will feel a little bigger than they are due to the wider ski. I think you’ll have more fun on the 164 at this point with your height/weight/just stepping into park skiing

while you're probably gonna grow, you're also pretty light so you'd have a tougher time whipping around the 172 (especially cause its on the wider side). I'd say go with the 164
