(accidentaly made a thread in ski-gabber, but now i'm posting it in the right forum)

Hi!

Going to buy a pair of Atomic Punx but don't know which length 173 or

182. Hope you can help me out. I'm 176 (5'9) and weigh 132 pounds.

I mostly ride park, maybe 90 % park. and 65 % kickers and 35 % rails. I

have a pair of rossi scratch ghettos (167) and i like them, stiffness

was nice on kickers but was hard to butter with(i'm not so good at

buttering, so maybe it's because of me).

I'm leaning toward the 182s, since i have the ghettos which are

shorter, so it would be nice to try out a pair of longer skis. but i'm

a bit concerned about whether i will be able to butter them or not,

cause i still want the skis to be playful even though they are a bit

longer than what i'm used to.

soo... 173 or 182?

if anything longer skis butter better once you get out over them. And once there center mounted they seem small, but you will be able to stomp way better and ride faster.

182s for sure dude, thoes skis are so light and if you're mounting them center dont go smaller.

182 for sure and then go eat some cheeseburgers and your set

182. When I was 5'2 I was skiing the 173's and could handle them in the park just fine.
