Line blends

[cush8124]

so im ordering blends and i was wandering a couple of things. I dont know if i should get 168 or 178 im 5"10 205 will be sking mostly park and all mountain on the east coast. Does anyone have them please pm me on how you like them.

178, you'll like them because they rip in the park and in the glades and groomers

 

[eli112233]

178 for sure.

 

[Lemuel]

def. 183 dude. with your height and weight, it would be perfect. plus its basically the same size as the 178. i am 5'10" 140 and i ski on 181 chronics. perfect length for everything but the trees really.

 

[Cudder.]

5 10 140 lb deffinitely should not be riding a 183

 

[ReedSkis~]

bigger the betteri'm 5'4" and i have 168 and they work perfectly for my hightgo big

 

[cush8124]

Do you guys have them center mounted?

 

[PaleCelery]

I got last years, 179. they rip. I'm 6 ft 175. mounted them -2.5 from center. perfect spot

 

[Dcestylzdtailer]

Agreed.

 

[SteezethePirate]

178, can't go wrong there

 

[Bamski]

At 205 lbs, I would 100% for sure go with the 183's. They are not that much bigger than the 178's but the benefits you would gain from a slightly bigger ski can't be over looked.

You are a big guy, the 178's might start feeling mighty small once you get accustomed to them. Last thing you want it to wish you'd have gone a size bigger.

 

[fssnivek]

what are your guys main reasons for going with a bigger ski? maybe im just not as good as some ppl here, but im about 5-6 5-7 125lbs and i ride on 161s, and they're fine for me...but i havent tried anything bigger so who knows

 

[kowski]

Exactly. Kids are adding useless babble about a commenter who said he likes his 180 chrons at 5 10" and 140lbs. This when the actual originator of the thread weighs 205 and would probably fair better on 183s. if the other kid is comfortable on a long ski then who the hell cares. Lets help the person with the question.

 

[Casey]

What? He even says he likes riding 181. Time to man up and ride a ski thats long enough.

 

[rudager]

Go for them man,I have them and love them. Although i ski big mountain in the Rockies, They're great.

Im 6'2" 165lbs and ski the 183. it kills it for everything. Perfect stiffness and junk
