My bro is 162cm tall and 55kg. He's just started park skiing this season and is just perfecting 3s. He's skiing this year's Punx in 155cm at the mo but wants something abit bigger and maybe something abit better on piste, he finds they chatter about alot if there's any bumps. We are in Switzerland and mainly looking at the http://www.sport-conrad.com/skis/395/ website as this does epic deals for Europe. What skis do you guys suggest would be best and in what size. Preferably no more expensive than the Punx which are 259euros before adding bindings.

Cheers,

Jack

ok, so i just did the conversions, your brother is 5'3 and weighs 120lbs....

i would say to be honest if he is a beginner, 155cm sounds ok, i mean i would say i am a beginner in that i can spin 3s 5s switch 1s but nothing much bigger and i am 6'0 (185cm) and i ski 179cm which are perfect.

but i dont know, if he feels like he will be growing and wants to make them last longer maybe size up abit, not too much though...

What are people's opinions on K2 Sights? And do you think bigger Punx would be much better on piste?

Check out the Ar7's.

they are quite stiff and I think would be a good alternative to the Punx if you are willing to look at other options.

Also, you could check out the El Reys which are a nice priced-to-sell ski from Armada
