Y the fuck would you get the 173s I'm 5'9" and the 182s feel short. They Arw going to feel like ski blades

Different people like different sizes man and that didnt answer his question at all. I would mount at recommended for riding a little bit of everything,

ehh i would have gone 182s becasue skis with rockered tips and/or tails will ride shorter than a fully cambered ski. but a lot of people mount bacons true ceter and love them for all over the mountain so go for that. i mounted my 10' bibbys true center, and hated it at first, but after 10 or so times im glad i did and i wouldnt have done it any other way

thanks for the input

Your skis are too short. Sorry but they just are. If you haven't mounted them, see if you can swap them for 178 or 184s.

I ride 178s at true centre.

 

[.cam.]

I would personnaly mount them at -2 but thats all preference. If you only get a few pow days a year go center but if you aren't in the park 90%+ of the time than mount a little behind.

i wish i could trade them for a bigger pair i but can't

sell them? I dunno, if you really think they will be long enough for you then just mount them at recommended.

I'm 5'8 and for anything other than park, I'd want the 184, I only ride the 178 because they are 95% park.
