i was mainly wondering if this ski is too big for me. i am 5'6 127 pounds and a very confident skier. i ski mostly park but this would be my one ski quiver so it would have to handle pow.(which i am looking to do quite a bit of this coming season). i feel the dimensions are what i would want in a ski and it being longer it should keep me on top of the snow right? with a center mount im afraid the tips might dive so how much will the rocker really do? i skied 169 fujies this past season and liked them a lot. how is the flex compared to them? and if there are any other skis you think i should look into please let me know... i like soft skis.
 
yes.

look into maybe some atmic punx, comes in a good size, soft flex and i only hear great things about them.
 
reno rocker is a fucking sick ski

my cousin has them and hes like 5-8 and he still rips in and out of the park

when do the new moments come out-bibby pro etc

 
I don't know much about the reno rocker, but if you only weigh 126lbs. you won't have any float issues. If I were you I would look at maybe a pair of seths. They're rockered and they come a bit shorter.
 
im looking for something more park oriented than the seth, and with my fujatives it was tough for me to keep the tips up with them mounted 1 cm infront of core centre. also i am still growing
 
i dont want to sound ignorant. but i need some convincing as to why they are too big, like what downsides will there be. because there isnt a huge length difference between 169 and 181 if you look at both.
 
You're 5'6. pretty short, and you're thinking of 181's. Something like that just doesn't add up. Even though they're rockered, your turns will still be sloppy and long, and the skis will catch everywhere. Spinning will be a bitch because even though its rockered, you'll still be swinging around 181 cm's of ski, you'll have difficulty flexing them, not becasue of being stiff, but because of the length. Long skis are great, but not when it gets to this extremity, 5'9 5'10, maybe 5'8 it would be manageable, but at 5'6 and not weighing much, i personally wouldn't do.
