Can anyone suggest a good ski that will handle both park and competition mogul duty for an 8 year old? Even better if you have one for sale in a 130-ish length.

WTB: rear wheel. 27.5", non-boost spacing
Who's got a wheel to sell me? I roached my old wheel today.
Cheap, SLC-area pickup strongly preferred. Full wheelset considered if it's blingy and cheap.
Thanks!
