 i weigh 140 and 5,4 19 years old and a very aggresive skier

i also get ok pro deals on moment armada and k2 so something along those lines would be in my price range.

 ive looked at the obsethed and wasnt sure about the rocker or the fact that its made in china

i had a pair of comis but they are more of a powder ski i would still like to use these as my pow ski

if theirs any other brands that give good pro deals to patrollers by all means tell me or maybe you got

a pair you dont need any more

any help would be hot

nothing under 168 cm

181 ANT, 182 Garbones would be my top 2 choices there. I'd consider obSetheds too soft as a charging ski. Not sure of the stiffness of the backside/sidestash skis (or any of that line).

i know dynastar hooks snowbird patrollers up, check out the legend pro or lp xxl. the xxl is probably about the most versatile ski made today (just please don't try and center mount them...)

While sweet, even the smallest XXL (187) will be too big for someone who is 5'4" 140lbs. High 170s, or low 180s with rocker is probably as big as you want to go.

rue, but an lp comes in a 176 and a 18(4?), and i think the new ones are more forgiving than the old ones. but garbones sound sick, i might just go there pending lengths/deals.
