171 park ski vs 179 all mountain ski

[cfox]

I have a 179 all mountain ski and i am thinking about getting a park only ski. I am looking into the anthems, they are 250-300 everywere else besides rei and rei is selling them for 199 but only in 171s i am just afraid those will b to small or i will grow out of them since im 14 now and almost six foot just wondering any help would b nice

im just over six foot and i got some 174's for park. you should be fine i think.

If you get a symmetrical ski, like an invader or anthem, you should definitly go with the bigger size. The centermount on the symmetrical makes them ride shorter than they are. And you wont really notice a whole lot difference, and you're pretty tall in the first place so I'd go longer.

have fun with a ski that lasts half a season. I got about 30 days on mine before they were unrideable.
