6'1, on 186s, 181s and 169 park skis. The last ones would be WAY too short if I ever took them out of the park. As a rule, though, tall is taller than you, short is below your eyes, and too short is below your nose. But really, unless you're in deep pow you don't need tall skis. Eye level should be fine.

 
5'11 155 hehe there for slalmon racing but my twins are only 164 and I have a pair of speed 63 that are 186

Meh, look where I live.

It's Western New York. A whopping 750' vertical and 'oh so challenging' steepness.

I really don't need to be concerned with all-mountain performance.

^I shake my head and feel sorry for you... at least 176s will look a bit niftier, even if they don't really make a difference on that terrain.

 
as long as the tip of the ski is above you mouth your golden

IT'S AFGHANIMATION!!!
 
i am 6'2, and i ride 180s

Saturday night and you're still hangin' around

Tired of livin' in your one-horse town

Like to find a little hole in the ground

For a while

So you go to the village in your tie-dye jeans

And you stare at the junkies and the closet queens

It's just like some pornographic magazine

And you smile

Captain jack will get you high tonight

And take you to your special island

Captain jack will get you by tonight

Just a little push and you'll be smilin'

 
It's hard to say what 'too short' is. It really depends on what you do, where you do it, how hard you ride, how much you weigh, how tall you are, how experienced you are, etc. There's no magic formula for coming up with a correct length. If it feels long enough, then great.

if you are 6 foot plus you should be on at least 190's if you are shorter than 6 foot than no smaller than 180, 200's are preferable

Believing in jesus is like believing in santa claus, once you reach a certain age you realize that it's all made up
 
make sure they are straight skis also. Don't get the ones that are turned up in the back. Those ain't no good.

Eggs and bacon please, eggs over skeezy
 
Holy shit. I'm 5'6' and I'm on 155's. But I'm also about 110-115 pounds.. I think my skis are way to short though.

 
damn 155's you may as well be on snowlerblades

i know im gonna et a TON of shit for this.. but im like 6' even and 150

i ride the Mikenick 142's and i realize.. theyre like skiboards, its horrible but im working on getting the money for some of the skogens or the 171 mikenicks

Dude, if you don't have the capital for a new pair of sticks there's no shame in that just realize if you do have the dough and chose to get a pair that short you will catch a bunch of crap.
