im 5'10, 165lb. just picked up a new pair of boards at 176...but have been seeing reviews that a longer length might be better. Im new to the fat ski game, is 176 going to be too short for time spent on groomers between tree runs? thanks in advance!
 
you should be ok. especially if you are new to twin tips. should probably go longer on your next pair of skis though
 
thanks, appreciate the response. was on the prophets for a few seasons but wanted to step it up with the liberty helix. size otions were 176 and 187 (which seemed a bit overkill for the new england trees...at my ability at least). slight rocker in tip and tail but nothing like the hellbents.
 
the 176 will be quicker in the trees but the 187 will be more stable and charge harder. i have a pair of 179 pow skis and a pair of 187 pow skis and use my shorter ones for trees and the longer ones for deep days and cliffs.
