all right im 4'7' and 75 pounds, im wanna get new skis for next year but not quite sure which size or what kind, im thinking k2 juvys, line chronic minis, rossi scratch pro, armada ar3, or maybe the new full twin junior teneighty (they wont be out until next yeat though). also do you think i should something close to a 140 for size? should i go bigger or what? oh im probably a beginner to imtermediate park skier, and an advanced all mountain skier. any help would be good, thanks.

get the ar3...the juvis are nice also but the scratch pro's suck ass...and ya look for the line invaders that will be out next year...i think they come in 140 or 141 so those will be very nice for u

yea i've heard that the scratch pros aren't that good. do u know anything about them durability wise, because they are all good but i'd be inclined to get the ones that last the longest

in my opinion, i dont know how old you are, but you sound like 12-14, i would just get something that i can grow into and not something that fits me at that point and time.

the smallest the line invaders come in is 151, do you guys think that would be too big or not?

the chronic minis are good skis and they come in 143 but you might grow so i would look at the new jr teneightys and they should come in somewhere in the 140s

def wait til next year, you will prolly grow, i would not hesitate getting a ski that is up at your forehead or maybe even a tad taller then you, so you can grow into it. 150-160's.
