I am beginning/intermediate Masters racer.

I am only 5'2.5' and 132 lbs 49 years old.

What would be the best set up for me?

What would be the easiest skis to flex with me being so small?

Which would be the ideal setup for me:

Völkl Racetiger SL Ski 150 + rMotion2 12 GW 118031

Volkl Racetiger SL R Jr plate Race Skis 2019 150 with Marker Race Xcell 12 118832

Thanks for all your help!!!!

I just purchased the jr ski described above and am 30lbs lighter, couple inches shorter. I've no idea how it'll work for me and waffle about it, but I got a decent enough of a deal on a new 2018 ski that I think I can live with it for a few seasons.

I assume you mean the FIS 155 and not the consumer 150 with the rMotion2 ;-)

correct!

Yah the 150 with the rMotion2 is the ski I am talking about.

don't waste your money. Go for the FIS model if you are running gates. The rMotion2 is not suited to regular gate use. Buy the right tool first rather than having to buy twice. As a Masters coach it is always the worst thing i have to do when I get an eager new racer turning up and proudly showing me the new "race" skis he/she has bought and i then need to gently explain to them why they will be spending the money again in very short order.
