Hey I'm looking for some help with skis. I'm 14 and weigh 50kg and I'm looking for some light durable skis. I'm 164cm ish but the skis need to be relatively light. I have marker squire bindings and my previous skis were Élan Puzzle Pro E Kids skis. I really liked them as they are flexible and so light. But it's time for a new pair.

Suggestions?

Faction kennedy is a super light park ski... They are full camber and they rip on the groomers! They can hold up in a little powder

I'm mainly looking for park. I need skis that can fit me as I'm 160cm but I need light and flexible ones at the same time.

First thing you wanna do is get rid of those squires and buy real bindings.

Personnaly I think you would love the atomic infamous skis i have them myself and they are really buttery, soft and really fun to mess around in the park. They are a light ski that are really durable for me and im around 115-120 lbs so u would be fine also. They are a great fun ski! hope this helps

Atomic Infamous
Faction Kennedy
Icelandic Da Nollie (a little heavy but I'm the same weight as you and can handle these just fine in 170cm size)
Volkl Step
Surface Blanks (real stiff though)
Armada Al Dente

There is a possibility of a tip blowout here.

Other skis I would look into:
Volkl Revolt
Atomic Punx
Armada AR7
Armada Bdog
Armada Edollo

But if you are not flexing/buttering them that much I think you would be fine and they have the rivets at the top to make the tip a lot more durable.

If you're looking for a buttery ski that is playful in the park go with the K2 Sheraditor 102
For carving all mountain i recommend the Line Sick Day either the 95 or 105
both are solid skis and i've heard from so many people that they're amazing
also helps that the graphics are sick as well
