Hey guys i may be lookin into buyin some different skis with my christmas/birthday money.
I live in Iowa, and ski park about 99% of the time.

I am 5'5 and 110 pounds

I ski 80% rails 20% jumps. ( jumps i hit are usually around the 20ft to 45ft range)

I was considering the rossi scratch (s4?)

what are your guys thoughts of the skis and the size?

i currently ride 161 suspects and find them too stiff

thanks for all help! Have a great rest of the season!

Thall in a 171. Super buttery tip and tail with a stiff waist. Great pop and rides rails like a champ. Center mount them as you're going to use them exclusively for park. The S7 base is pretty durable as any other park ski out there, but don't assume that they're bulletproof as any ski with get destroyed riding rails.

Cheers.

Chronics are an all-mountain ski. If you like line, I suggest waiting for the 2013 Traveling Circus ski. Saw it at SIA and it's the Anthem (Amazing park ski) with the TC graphic. 92 underfoot so great for jibs and will stomp stuff like a champ

I take it you're no longer looking at these, but don't get them...they'd be ridiculously stiff for someone your size and not very good for someone who likes rails...check out punx though, they're supposed to be very buttery but still able to stomp the big landings.
