Replying to Short radius freeride/freestyle ski
I'm 5 foot 6 and 1/2 and 110 lbs and may grow another few inches but I'm looking for a ski that is light, really playful, buttery, poppy, has a short radius for easy quick turn initiation, and is pretty responsive. The terrain I would use the ski for includes powder/freeride, backcountry, as well as park features. I would prefer a ski that is really playful and fun and performs really well in powder and freestyle but isn't a complete noodle for some drops and larger hits (I'll sacrifice some stability for more flex and I'm relatively light so a ski with more flex may be good). A relatively light ski would be nice as it provides low swing rate and would be good in the backcountry. Given my height it is also difficult to find some sizing that I can maneuver well. I would also prefer a ski closer to symmetrical in rocker.
