NS,
I have been doing some research and such and looking into what size ski would be best for me. I am 5'10" maybe 5'11" and 150lbs. I bought 173 Atomic punx this summer thinking they would be money, but I have grown since then-I think I'm pretty much done growing now though. Anyway...Last year I rode 171 anthems and thought they worked pretty well-no complaints. Now when I compare my 173 punx to my 171 anthems they are actually a good 3cm shorter it seems. They (punx) fall right about at my nose. I live in WI so no huge jumps for me, although I am going out west for a month. I probably will ski like 65% rails, 20% smaller jumps-40 feet and under, and 15% bigger jumps (when i go out west). I recently received a good deal on some 179 k2 domains (2010/2011) which I skied last year and really enjoyed, so I was considering getting those and selling the punx. My question is, what would be the best ski in terms of size and the type of skiing I do? I like both skis, would be open to either, but my punx are shorter than I expected them to be and I've heard the domains are longer than 179, however they do have the rocker involved. Thanks for any input, I would really appreciate some advice on this.
