[steezyjibber]

im 5'6

ski park

east coast

120 pounds

i want the 08 butterlicious 171 or the mik d 176

but i think the mik d 176 may be too big?

 

[jimmer]

i'd agree that 176 is a bit big

 

[steezyjibber]

i'am 178 cm.

 

[steezyjibber]

^well i could centermount any ski so why would mounting specs matter?

With your weight, I would only go 171. Im about 40 pounds heavier, and on 176's. I could easily take on a 181, as long as it is soft. Im on 176 Ar6's, which is a perfect size for me.

Even if your centre mounting, 171. 176 is total overkill. Dont fall into the "long skis are better" because at some point, long it too long.

 

[steezyjibber]

alright

thanks

I have no idea of the specs on the 9th skis. How stiff is the butterlicious and mik d? Any info/specs?

171

id say 176+center mount.. it also give you more room to grow and you will get use to it quick

 

[alaskakid]

I'm in that same exact category and I got 172's. I think the 176 would be too big for you.

 

[boobie]
