Hey I'm a 24y old who's 187cm tall, weighs 71kg and have a boot size of 10.5.

Looking to buy a set of park skis but not sure of the length of them. I'd say I'm an advanced skier but lack a lot of experience in the park. Going to improve as best I can on both jumps, rails and butters this season. So I need help with the length of my skis. Thinking about the armada 86 ARV 2020 184 but any other suggestion would be great!
 
Dont go shorter than 180 or longer than 185 if you are going to be park oriented and want to progress. any thing shorter will look goofy and anything longer will have to much swing weight to handle. Im the same height and weight and find 183 to be the best length that being said 184 isnt that much more and ARV's are a respected ski. Also dont be afraid to look at 96 underfoot wider skis have their place in the park as well.

Alright good thing I posted this I was also thinking about 177. Do you think the B Dog 180 2020 would be a good fit? They are 94mm
 
Yea 180 is good I’m currently riding the 180 edollos and although they feel short at times I don’t notice it to much now. Also they will be more whipable then the 184s so it will be easier to get tech. Can’t remember if you wanted a playful ski but I hear once you break them in they can get pretty soft. They are definitely a solid choice and probably a better choice for you as you are just starting out. Your just going to have to land a bit more under foot if you decide to get these which isn’t necessarily a bad thing . Waist size is also good ?
