i got some 176cm rorys and they are super sick, first day on them was the other day and they ripped pretty much anything at the local park. they were pretty smooth off the jumps and had total control, me being 145lbs and 5'7 i thought they would be a lil wide and long and heavy ski for east coast, no snow parks but they were super sick...Not to soft, not to stiff, tips and tails were softer obvs then underfoot and they are bombproof, now im not sure if these skis are prett ymuch the same as the THA's and just longer but if ur that weight maybe try and scoop up some rorys and you will have more fun around all mountai, cant wait to hit the pow on these i head to whistler in a few days and these skis are my one ski quiver right now and cannot be any sicker
