CRJ Sizing

[Kooky_Lukey]

Hey guys, I'm about to pick up a pair of CRJ's, but I can't decide between the 172 and 180's. I am 5'7" ~170 lbs. give or take 5 lbs. I ski in Montana, mainly at Big Sky. Majority of skiing that I will do with these are cliffs 10-15 ft. nothing insane, pow days, and anything on the peak (Chutes, bowls, gullies). I'm thinking of going with the 180's because of the rocker and the type of skiing I will be doing.

Thanks for any help!

Hey man, go 180. I'm 5'7 as well and I'm getting the 180s too

You'll enjoy the extra length for floatations and also they ski short with the tocker and taper

Yeah those are the ones I pulled the trigger on. I think they'll give me better stability and I can handle the length so I figured why now. Thanks for the input man

when i first bought my crjs i was about 5'11 or so and i got the 188s. they were long, but ive grown into them and they are perfect. in your situation i would definitely go 180. it will help a lot with the flotation and stability. cheers man, hope you enjoy your crjs as much as i do!

I am 5'9 and 180 lbs. and I ride the 180s. They don't have loads of rocker compared to other pow skis, and they have a good amount of camber. 180 should work well for you
