Long time no talk! My wife wants new skis and I know she wants twin tips. She’s tiny 5 feet 100 pounds. You think I could get her Armada ArV 84 Jr Kid skis in her size ? She’s not super aggressive and not skiing park. Fuck it right?

Shit she tiny. I'd actually recommend the Black Crows Camox Birdie Jr instead. It's 90 underfoot so a little bit better in variable conditions. She'll learn to ski'em. They also make a Junius that is cheaper and 86 underfoot.

i wouldn’t get her a kids park ski, if she’s skiing just a couple times a year, most anything should be fine, but if you are taking skiing a little more seriously, she should be on an approachable and progressive all-mountain ski.

look at the blizzard black pearl 82, elan ripstick 88W, and maybe even some skinnier/more frontside oriented skis.

good luck :)

If you need sub-150cm lengths and are looking at junior skis just make sure the construction is properly done, stay away from foam cores and full cap skis. The smaller manufacturers, Moment, ON3P, 4FRNT, J Skis, etc I think all make their junior skis the same as regular adult skis.

He was asking what type of skis he should get her. Not what she should give him. 😜
