im 5 foot 5 and 115, last three seasons i used 133 line chronics not centermounted, so should i get the 160 renos or the 171 reno jibs? also im only 14 so im still probably gonna grow like 5 or 6 in ches in the next 2  seasons

i doubt anyone here has skied either of those...i would say 170s just based off your size and age. they may be a little much at first but youll get used to it..best idea would be to email them at info@momentskis.com and ask them personally..they will know their skis better than anyone else of course.

i agree with the above, the 171 jibs might seem big at first, but you will get used to em, and you're only 14...so believe me, you're gonna grow dude, i was skiing 170 sized skis when i was 14...

Yeah, 171 Reno Jib should be okay. You'll get used to it, and it's a pretty light ski too. You'll definitely grow into it, it saves a bit of money. If you buy 160 Reno's, you'll find pretty soon that they're too small for you.

I'm 14 and grew like 2 inches over the summer, you'll no doubt be growing pretty fast. I'm 5'7 now, I was like 5'5 during April haha

I have some rockers... and they kill it.

If you email them, they will get back to you. Id go with the 170, you'll grow out of em fast, but theyd make a sick urban ski when they get a lil short for the hill.

youll be fine on a 170. just be comfy in the fact that knowing youll be comfy on the increase in size in a few days shredding.
