161 or 165's? or bigger?

[CrazyCanuck]

hey right now I ride 4frnt 160's and they are pretty much done (the edge is seperating). I am about 5'6 and 135 lbs. I was wondering if i should go bigger than 161? I ski the park all the time and plan on a center mount. I am just not sure if weight is the issue or preferance or height?

165 sounds like a good match for you, i wouldnt go over 170 for someone of your hieght.

I know salomon make skis in 166 which would be good for you. Try and go for something the same height as you.

 

[=nick=]

woah im your height and weight approximately riding 175 for park and 185 for pow, i could go up 5 cm on both but dont rly need to...get at least 170s

i am looking at the dynastar nothin but trouble 165's for 08. Anyone heard anything about em that is good or bad? Freeskier gives em a good rating.

165-175 would work great.

I'm 5'9 and i ski a 167 park and a 172 and 186 pow ski. I'd go 165 or possibly lower, but give or take 2-3 cm, anything around a 165 is perfect

im 5'9 and i ski a 177 in the park, a 165 should be pretty good. 170 if you like it long

170-175

Really? Because I'm 5'4'', and I demoed some Prior Doughboys in a 175 today and they were fine, even with the super far back mounting point.

 

[steezyjibber]

169-175

 

[Silence]

yeah i'd say 165-175
