This is B's cousin but I'm looking for some new skis I'm a racer (Don't hate)
I'm a 16 yr old girl, 5,10. Looking for a twintip to ski powder but also all mountain, park (Focusing on jumping) and that isn't too bad on the groomers.  Any help is appreciated.

Well that is very easy honey.  Any ski that is PINK is made especially for a gurl

These go everywhere:
They are the female equivalent of the Blend (which is one of the best All-mountain, one quiver, powder/park skis), they are light, poppy, have good floatation, and are awesome all-around.

I Know its bad to ask a girl their weight.. but My girl and my sister both got the volkol Gotma jr's.

My girlfriend is a intermediate skiier and she goes pretty much everywhere.. and she was looking at full women skis and then I realized that she only weights 115 fully clothed in ski gear and she was well under the 140lbs limit for the jr skis.. So she ended up getting the volkol gotmas jr. and I believe that they are 158cm too so they are pretty long.. 

My sister on the other hand is a ripper that will ski pow, groomers and ski switch with me.. She is still under 5 foot but she got the gotma jrs as well in the 158cm and she rips them really well.. with the reverse camber of those skis they ski well for the length..

so If you are a fairly small girl I would definatly look at the Jr twin tips out there.. they share the same features as the adult skis but for much cheaper.. my girl and my sis both love there gotmas and they may be something you should look at..

Seriously, get these.  They are probably the best 1 ski quiver out there.

She said she was 5'10, so no way she should be on 158 jr skis. 

In all honesty though, why care if it's a female specific ski?  If you are a racer I am sure you probably aren't new and can ski well (could be wrong).  That and at 5'10, which is tall, I'd say you don't have to narrow it down to just female skis.  Buy what the guys are riding and enjoy shredding.

Thanks for the great help guys.  Yeah I need I think something about a 170. I'm in the US at the moment otherwise that would be great thanks, I'll have a look at them when I get home though.  Those lines look good, but do you have any other suggestions? Horizon do you have any suggestion for a mens skis, because my skiing is pretty competent.
