I'm 13 and moving up from Junior skis (K2 Juvy in 149) which are too soft for me now. I'm about 5'4" and 120+ pounds. I did a demo on this ski in 160 and found it a little too much ski. The shop didn't have a 150 demo. I'm a pretty good skier and like bowls, glades, chutes and powder when i can find it. There don't seem to be a lot of choices in skis for older juniors (or small adults). Any thoughts?

Unless you have a ton of money, you should just go for the 160, which might feel a little much right now, but as you develop and grow, you will be glad. If you have tons of dough though, go for the shorter length, and upgrade as you go. I bought a bigger ski when I was about your age, and it forced me to become a better skier.
