My son is in need of skis for the coming season. He is about 5'3 and only 85 pounds. He is a fantastic skier, easily skiing double blacks. He loves to jump and spin, preferring twin tip skis but still carves arcs. I am thinking he needs around a 155-160mm ski which sits between short adult skis and long kid skis. I assume adult skis might be too stiff for his weight.
I am hoping for some options to look for. I will be looking for used skis which brings another question. His current boots are Nordica GPX 70. I believe they are a junior boot so I'm not sure if I can use an adult binding. Some skis at that size have jr bindings while some have adult. I'm hoping not to spend too much as it will probably be a 1-year ski for him.
Thank in advance!
