I'm lookin for a ski that is nice in the park, and doesn't have to be female specific, but work for girls...I was thinking the new moment skis, but i wasn't sure.  Any ideas?

I would say the invader. Its light and very soft on flexing. And its and overall solid ski for the park.

you could go with the new line shadow, it is the womens version of the invader.

i rode missdemeanors last season and liked them. they were pretty good all around. only compliants i have is that they were pretty heavy adn stiff. i rode my friends rossi scratch FS girls adn they were real nice softer adn alot lighter.

I think that the moments would be a good choice

they make girl specific skis, but don't cut back on quality or performance.


However to recomend stuff, we need more info... height, weight, type of skiing you like, type of terrain you like, how you would rate yourself as a skier, what you like in skis

Bluehouse produced the MR in a 164 for 08/09. The graphics are bi-genderish.

Check it out here.

Some girls choose male skis cuz most female skis are too soft and are a dumbed down version.

OK, I'm about 5'2" and i ski park a lot...but i ski on not so great conditions.   The snow at my mountain is sketchy, not much pow...but i go in the park all the time.  I would consider myself pretty advanced, and i want a pair of skis that are pretty light and flexy.  Also, thanks for all the feedback!

Arw are light and way soft fun ski sometimes too soft for more aggresive ridin'.
They would be a good choice for someone new to the park.

Every girl I've ever talked to on Moments loves them.  I definitely recommend the Stiletto for park.  Symmetrical with similar construction to the Jibb.  Super light and poppy.
