Thoughts on used Rossignol Scratch Pro junior?

My son has been wanting to ski park and I've had him wait until he can ski the whole mountain, which he can now do (we're still working on moguls). So I want to get him a pair of twin tip skis and the local shop has a pair of used Rossignol Scratch Pro juniors at 148. My son is 12 and a lean 95 pounds.

I want him to be able to use these skis for the rest of this season and next year as well.

He's 4'10" (so 145 CM), but I'd like him to be able to use them for next year so he'll probably be around 5'0" by then too.

Get some in the 150s if possible
Bigger skis are nice and help with strength in skiing while also giving him some room to grow

I agree, especially if he already knows how to ski something around 150cm would be good. I'd also look for something on the wider side ~85-95 (a lot of kids park skis are 70-75ish not sure about tween skis) and something with rocker, not a full camber ski, but that's just me.

I don't know anything about these particularly http://www.skiessentials.com/2017-scott-junior-scrapper-skis-w-tyrolia-attack-11-gw-bindings.html but something in that ballpark.

My kids are still on their first new pairs other than the hand-me-downs they learned on, I'll be in the same boat as you are now next spring.
