I'm about 5'5 130. I'm looking at the line moship for a pow ski. I don't ski much powder so I'm not sure how the sizing goes. My park skis are 170's. Any help would be awsome.

 
they would work for this year, but if you grow (which I'm assuming you will) then you'd be better off with 172s

I'm possibly getting some 192 moships, 03-04 models that I could put an r12 or look12jib on. Would anyone be interested in these for buy or trade for a pow ski around a 170?

 
god don't get 192s... that's like double your size. If you can trade/sell em great, but you may end up being stuck with huge skis or selling them for the same price as you got em for or less... making it all a waste of time

Ride the 192s. Back in the day people used to ride skis longer than that. Plus, you'll practically fly above the snow.

haah 5'5' 120 pounds and 192s? Are you kidding me? Thats so ridiculous. We arents skiing straight skis anymore. Those would be over a foot above your head. If i were you id stick with what you have now, 170 or whatever.

hey fags i'm not retarded, but I could turn around and sell them on ebay for way over 50 bucks. please dont say gay shit.

 
Look man, stick with the 162, your a short light person, in pow that will do fine, unless your heading for alaska, or the Yukon then anything over 180 is over kill, as newschoolers we take longer skis then needed in advance, so in the pow it schould be about the same lenght

I like soup....

 
172 flites (flites are way better)

I have pocket rockets in a 165, and they rock! however, when the snow gets real deep they can dive a bit. I am 5'8' 132lbs. If I was only going to ski deep pow I would have gotten the 175... but for something that is a ton of fun I got the 165.

 
at 5'5 162's wouldn't be small at all. I'm 5'8 and ski 164's. By bro is 5'4 and skis 153's..... I say go with the shorter ones.
