I have a big dilemma. i want a decent pow/park ski and i need it to be cheap. the surface watch lifes seem to be the answer. im 5'7 and about 155lbs so id normally look for about a 175.. but they are only in a 171 and a 181... so im stuck there.. but i can get last years 171 for 275 and this years 181 for 350... i dont care much about sandwich vs capped,so i dont care about the year. but another concern is that the 181s are 87 in the waist and the 171s are only 82 at waist. so im stuck

Do I get a shorter ski and save $75 or a long ski and pay the money?

 
definately pay more for the longer ones.....you should also check out last year's rossi scratch bcs.....evogear.com has em for like 250
 
k2 fujis. im not sure of the size but i think they have a 174 which might just be perftect. its got the width and its got the flex.
 
you could def get away with the 171 if you dont want to pay the extra 75$$$. the 181 would probably be a little better in pow for you since its longer and has a fatter waist but it isnt that big of a difference from the 171. its pretty much up to you and how much you want to spend because you could handle the 181's but its an extra 75$ for just a little more in the waist
 
i fucked up bold, thats embarrassing... anyways, im pretty certain im getting watch lifes though, its all a price factor for me. thanks for letting me know about the scratch bcs though, ill check them out a bit i think.
