Idk how long my skis should be

[wyobro]

Yo homies and homiettes. I’m 6 foot and wanna upgrade to a pair of freestyle skis. Long story short idk if I should go 184 or 177 or even shorter. Old pair was 180 soul 7s. What’s the pros and cons

You’ll spin a little faster with short skis, you’ll be a little more stable with longer skis. Just get them close to your height. I’m 6 foot and ride 181s

Like 182-186

Sounds like you’re considering k2 poachers. Basically, 177 will be easier to start on but you’ll outgrow them quickly. 184 may be a bit tougher at first but it’ll do you better long term. Honestly, many people adapt to ski length so I’d suggest 184

what's your skill level, what type of skiing is important to you, how much do you weigh?

I’ve been skiing big mt/backcountry since I was 3, and I’m 17 now so I’d say I’m pretty advanced. Can send big drops and stuff like that. I weigh 160 atm. Really wanna learn park and freestyle especially when I go to college somewhere next year

cool, then right around your height should be good. sounds like this will be a "do-it-all" ski? if so yeah get it right around your height... 182cm give or take a little, so out of the choices you said, easy choice on the 184
