Line Blend Size?

[Steazelweazel]

Hey guys!

I am buy some line blends friday and i was wondering what size i should get. I am 15 years old 5'4 and a 132 pounds i am an advanced/expert skiier. My dad wants me to buy the 178 because i could spend more years riding them. (i have not had my growth spurt yet but that should come soon) I am planning to ski 70% all mountain and 30% park. I think the 171 would be better but i wanted your guys opinions.

Thanks

178 would be huge, even by NSers standards. 171 would be a pretty good size for you. Definitely don't go 178, you probably don't weigh enough to control them. I'm 5'8'' and 150 pounds and ride 176 Atomic Punx.

171 is fine for you and you won't be riding the blend for years anyway. You will snap the butter zones in them within two seasons which will be probably be the time you need longer skis and something that isn't a complete noodle.
