I’m 5’3 and a little under 100 pounds I ski a 161 to 165 I can never butter skis because I don’t weigh much I need a super soft ski but also super durable besides line blend or Vishnu’s since they don’t make my size what skis would you guys recommend I ski the east coast I don’t hit big jumps look for a jib ski I mostly do rails, thanks.

Ya I was looking at the b dogs, I’m thinking b dogs and Icelantic nomads are the softest skis that have my size

Icelantic Nomads, ON3P Magnus, or Line Honey Badgers if you really need something small.

Not too worried about the size just want a soft ski that’s easy to flex/butter

The whole point of this thread was finding a specific sized ski (161-165) I thought. The Vishnu Wets ride sort of short if you are able to find them. I'm 6' and ride the 182s. Wouldn't mind them being a little tiny bit bigger. They are actually a little smaller than my size 179 K2 Domains if that means anything to you. Maybe take a look at someone's if you see them at your local park. You might be able to pull them off. The closest thing to them that I can find in a 161-165 is the Honey Badgers though.

I like my J Skis Vacations. Think they make them in 163 and 165 among other lengths. Good on all conditions, like literally any kind of snow. Good for rails and jibs, too. 104 waist width, so they're nice and wide but still and carve and shred a groomer with no problem.
