Park Ski Length

[DC_Steeze]

Which length should I get for my new skis?

Height: 5'5"

Weight: 120 lbs.

I will be buying Scott TW Jib Skishttp://www.scott-sports.com/global/en/products/2241109992158/ski-scott-jib-tw-a-version-158/

Its between the 158 or the 168, my current skis are about 160 and i plan on center mounting these specifically for riding park only. I think personally im leaning towards 158 but I would like another opinion. Thanks in advance

Don't go for too long, it's personal preference. The 158 will be lighter, so I'd go with those.

5'5'' is 165 in cm. Go with 168. The ski is rockerd and your growing. If you go with the 158 you'll out grow it in a season or two.

Unless you have one of those shrinking diseases. then go smaller.

It really is all preference, i myself am5'8 and ride a ski that is 182cm...

My point being it is up to you to figure out what you like, and you will grow out of a shorter ski

 

[penguin_steeze]

park skis arn't supposed to be taller than you

 

[50Kal]

The ski is rockerd. He's gonna most likely grow.

But like the guy above you said comes down to personal preference.

most skiers I know ride skis as tall or a little taller than them.

I like you

everyone else recommends skis that are way to long

 

[theschneidler]

Thanks, I think people size up just because.

go for between eyebrows and top of the head for park ski so a 165- 170 kinda range
