Im 5'11" and about 150, Always been skiing 178's and it just dawned on me this year maybe i should consider a bit smaller? Like 171's... Thought it might be easier 270'n on and shit... I live in a place where you dont ski deep snow often, so thats not really a concern.. The only concern is the back support on landings and stuff...What do you think?
 
hey im 5'9/176cm apx and about 130LBs im think im probally gonna ride 171s or 161s im still but probally 171s, but it i was 5'11 i would ride 178s.
 
i skied 169s last year and i was like 6ft 160 and it wasnt bad, but i was used to the skis, i would stay long cause its way steezyer, i just got some 178s, but they are fat
 
The height seems good, but if your worried about spinning on and off rails, and tail length for landings, maybe you should consider mounting them foreward a little, possibly center mounting em
 
Ive been True centered for a year now, and I had some reactors last season but i got rid of them cause of the spinning issue, they're soo damn heavy...gettin some p12 jibs
 
im 5'10" and i ride 171cm, mike nicks i wish i had soemthing longer, besides its not that much easier for spin on and off, with smaller skis, if any thing longer skis i find help me stay stabler f that even makes sense and such
