Hey im looking to get a new pair of skis for park/mountain im about 5"8-5"9ish and im still growing how big of skis should i get? Right now im using Rossi Scratches that are 150's they are really small. And what brand/type of ski should i buy?

Thanks
 
yeh, def around 175-180 if ur still growing and plan to centre them. as for which ski, everyone has a different opinion.

just pick the prettyist
 
hmmmm ok yeah i was thinking 160'ish or around there but are you supposed to have a ski thats about your height your taller?
 
depends on your weight, but once you start bringing your binding close to centre, a 160 gets real short real quick.

im 5'8 and i ride 176's and 182's. itl feel like a big step up from 150, but ul thank us in a years time.
 
true. it depens if this is ur only ski or if you hve anoher set of boards for pow (sounds like prob not)

but i guess my larger point is that even tho 150 to 170+ seems like a big leap, from experience, i bought 169 pe's when i was in his shoes like 5 years ago, but within a few months they felt way too short, in the park but even more noticably in soft snow
 
175 at least fo sho.... and ummm... whatever skis you want i guess, depends if you looking for more park or all mountain.. i would suggest AR6
 
yeah..... i guess i usually do park right now, i ski at mount ripley in the u.p of michigan and sometimes at Mount Bohemia which is all backcountry. And those 150's are to short i dont get enough speed with them. And they atually seem hard to spin around surprizingly. Well anyways i was thinkin on getting a pair of dynastar big troubles and hooking them up with some look p12 bindings and foil boots what do you ppl think?
