The Head Ethan Too skis are a perfect tweener ski for the park, powder and everything in between. They are 91mm underfoot which isn't too wide for sliding rails in the park, but isn't too narrow for schralping the powder in the woods. The Ethan Too's have PNP (park and pipe) rocker which will provide softer nose and tails for buttering and some flotation in soft snow. If your kid shreds and craves a more high performance ride, this is going to fit the bill exactly
