Hey, 5'2", 120lbs is probably gonna be perfect for a 168-172 cm ski. Being mainly a park rider i find the bigger the better for speed in the pipe and speed coming into jumps. Might go a little smaller for an all mountain ski but not too much. Learning to adapt to a bigger ski has made me a much better skier in the long run. Im selling some 180 scratches but that doesnt help much. Good luck

A longer ski is nice for speed but its easier to rotate a smaller ski. What does he ride now I would stick close to the same length.
