My son is 14 yrs, 5' 9", 110 lbs. His primary interest is park but does like the rest of the mountain. Advanced but not expert skier yet. I expect him to continue growth in higth and weight. I don't know wether to choose the Dumont or K2 Disorderly. Based on the above, any opinion as to which ski to choose and which size for each? Thanks.

The Disorderly is a good ski, but personally I wouldn't really use it outside of the park. It has a center only mounting position, with the same dimensions for tip and tail, making it great for park, but sloppy else where. The Dumont on the other hand is better for an all mountain approach to park ski, it has normal characteristics of skis, but still is great in the park. Get him like the 171 length, of in my recommendation the Dumont. The K2 Extreme or whatever they named it for this coming season is also great, and very similar to the Dumont, so that is another option.
