Dear Gang. I am looking for skis for my son: intermediate (handles double blues well), 40 days of ski over two seasons, just 14 yo, 5'7 (170cm), 125lbs Last year he used cheap, heavy rentals: 155cm with a 74mm waist. They worked quite ok for him for what they were. I am trying to get him better skis this year, mostly for Mt Rose (slightly wider and all mountain type skis work best over there).
My target is a ski in the 160-165cm range length, and 75-80 waist, These look like a fantastic deal, but perhaps too long at 168cm:

Of course, he will keep growing, but I want a good ski now, not in 1y. These Rossy are abit more pricey , but they are available at 160cm:

I might be able to find some cheap used skis on a ski swap as well, but if these firearrows make sense, I don't know why I wouldn't pick up something new, with bindings and all ...
(I also looked here in the Classifieds)
Many thanks for any pointers/thoughts!
