K2 PE's - Measure "True"

I have a metric tape measure, (so you don't think I screwed up the cm/inch conversion) and my 169's measure 169cm from tip to tip. So it looks like they are using a 'true' length, not running lenght. The running lenght is actually around 150.

Also they are 4 cm shorter than my 174 Rossignols, which I know measure 'True'.

Just an FYI..

I have heard alot of people here say that the k2 sizes aren't the same as other brands.

 
I thought it would be a little odd going from my all-mountain 174's to 179's ,so 169 seemed to be the logical choice.

 
clearly skiflake is 15 feet tall and finds all of us short.

170s arent that small you fuckin dillhole.

I dont know....

All I cant tell you is what Mr. Tapemeasure said.

And he said '169 cm'

 
my pe's are 179 from tip to tip, but if you measure them like other companys via bottom they are longer... also my pe's are about 119mm from the tip.. weird..

 
5 centimeters isn't that much thats why the 169 and the 175 are almost the same length

life's a video game don't leave it on pause

just read this:The 113 is measured from the FCP

FCP: Forward Contact Point. This point is the farthest forward that still is in contact with the snow. Not necessarily the widest part of the ski, but the point from which sidecut is measured

 
i had a pair of 140s, but i jus got 142s and the 142s are shorter than the 140s?

BECAUSE SKIING NEEDS A FUTURE

how can short skis not be happenin when there easier to ride on the mountain and easier to handle in the air and also more things than height factor into ski length

 
^No better way for a newbie to make everyone think he's cool than to rip on skiboarders... next tell us about that cool new game Dnaspin, that seems to be popular.

 
ive seen footage of dumont riding 161s does that mean since he rides short skis he should become a ski blader and kill himself

 
^^WHOA, what's this DNA game i hear of? is it sick?

i have 159 PE's and i'm short, it doesn't cramp your style, i actually think that wicked long skis look like shit unless your really tall, and it doesn't make tricks harder just cuz your skis are longer, i skiied my friends 176 BC's and i could do the same tricks on those as i could on mine.
