New ski length advice

[-JaH-]

I'm about to buy a new pair of skis, and I needed some length advice...

I'm madly in love with the Amplid Cholesterone, don't know if you've seen them, but the fact is that I'm 5'7, and the skis are in only one length: 6'04... They are backcountry/park fatty twintips, and do you think that even if they are a little longer than my size, they will go well for me anyways?

Here is the link where you can see the sizes and everything:http://www.amplid.com/ski/chl.php

I'm a good skier, I ski since I was 3... so what do you think?

thanks

[midwestfreeski3]

oh yea i meant to ask what do yuo mainly ski park or pow

 

[invader7]

it depends on what your mostly gona use them for

 

[-JaH-]

it depends on the amount of snow there is this year... if I can, pow, if not, park...

If ur going to be skiing any park or groomers I would look into something a little less fat. Thats just too fat of a ski to be an all moutain one ski quiver

184 isnt that long. its the width you have to worry about. and unless you are skiing pow pretty much exclusively those are gonna be rough.

yep id say they're too fat for anything but a pure pow ski. but for a pure pow ski, they are probably about your size.

 

[steezyjibber]

i say yes go for it

there pretty long for someone of 5'7"

i'm 6'2" and on 185s

the amplid range is sick, once again tho

hand built and impecable quality

If you're only gonna ski pow on them, go for it. Otherwise look for a new ski. But stay around 175-180 for length for big mountain skiing.

I'd say if your gonna be doing any park, those are too wide, 126 is really really wide, but i agree, their skis are beautiful

 

[wils.]

9 inches taller than you is alot i would consider taking smaller

 

[Rippy087]

fyi 184 centimeters is 6 feet not 6'4. but they are too wide imo for park regardless
