i'm 13, 5 foot(im short),and 95 pounds. I'm getting a powder ski but dont know what ski to get for 50% park and 50% all mountain. I would like a ski with rocker but probaly there is know ski that would be in my size. I want to get a ski with 90-100 at waist but dont know what to get. So what size ski should i get and what model of ski?

my brother is your height and skis 155 salomon thrusters. there are not many all mountain skis (to my knowledge) that are short enough for you. 165 arv is the shortest that i can think of. for your weight though, a 161 stiffish park ski would be a fine all mountain ski

if you want something rockered, surface next life comes in 160, has early rise, and is 100 underfoot. imo you could do a 171 jmo if you really want. might be a bit long for park, but good allmountain and you get used to the length

K2 Bad Apple. Freakin' sick. Powder Rocker, 100mm underfoot, siiiick top sheet and I'm pretty sure they come in lengths that will suit you.

Put a Marker Squire on it and you're in business.

The other ski to look at would be the Volkl Gotama Jnr but it's a pretty ruthless plank.

The 163 Chronic cryptonite maybe? Or would you consider those too big? You are probably gonna grow some, and I think it would be a waste buying two skis for next season, and then ending up with both being to short when '12 comes around..

Check out the Armada T Halls - 83 underfoot and 166 in length - that may sound long for your height but they ski short so you should be good. Super fun to ride in the park and just a solid all-around ski. I use them most days and the JJ's for pow days - works out great

If you want a bit shorter than 166, you should also take a look at the rossi s3's - comes in 149 and 159, 98 underfoot - another sick ski and real good for what you're looking for.

Unless you like skiing groomers just get an all-out pow ski and an all-out park ski.
