New skis question

[olly.]

Im getting new Armada AR6s and i dont know what size to get

Im 5' 11" and about 150 pounds

what size ski should i get 171 or 176?

I want to keep them for at least 2-3 years

any suggestions

nope

if i am right and youre over 180 cm tall, than you should sure as hell get the 180, i bought myself the 170 two years ago and they were way too short.

ok, i am about 6'1", but believe me, by progressing you will need the extra length

181 and u wont have skis for 3 years if ur skiing park

the 171's will be easier to ride for you and probably more fun. But as the AR6 is farely narrow under foot it will compromise you being able to ski powder. If you only want to ride park then this won't matter.

However if you are slightly more focused on big air/ big kickers then rails you should get the 176's......more ski to handle but it would provide you with better float and control on big airs.........

my suggestion is because you are fairly light go the 171cms...

olly, get the 171! so much easier to spin and much lighter.

 

[JaphyRyder]

but i guess it doesnt matter cuz you cant ski with broken toes anyways
