Question about STL's

I'm 6 foot and around 170 pounds with some room to grow. Im just curious if the 183 STL would be ok for me. I can't demo 4-Frnts at my local hill so the only comparable ski of that length that I have demoed was a set of Fujatives. They felt nice and they seem to have similar flex patterns to the STL's, so I was hoping the STL's would work. I just want to try and ski something longer than my 171 1080's that I have now because I feel like they are too small.

From what i hear and read about their construction (but i dont know first hand) is that theyre mainly a park ski. Wouldnt really expect to have a race stiff ski along with a great park ski.

 
The 183 is definitely your size, and at 84mm underfoot, the ski is suprisingly versitle. I'd say go for it, especially over Fugatives.

 
I would go 177, personally, just because I always tend to go shorter with a park ski. If you're buying STLs, you're getting a park ski. They're soft everywhere. Even more so than T-halls.

I don't know about softer than T-Halls. The center of the STL's is pretty stiff, and the tail has tons of pop.

 
Thanks a bunch guys. I appreciate everything, but you aren't making my decision any easier because I was also looking at the T-Halls =). So many good things about each pair, but each are in their first year, that's the only thing that worries me. Except the MSP's first year didn't have as many problems as the AR5's, so right now it seems like 4-Frnt, unless I want to go with the shorter T-Halls.

Sidewalls are shitty???

PTex sidewalls are the most durable sidewall on the market!!! WAY better than ABS

That's what makes the skis so light!

Snowboard companies have been using this technology for years...

 
id go 183 for the guy that made this post.

also...mine have hit urban and lots of park rails, and they are in perfect shape...not even any cracks yet.

they ski well all around the mountain if you know how to ski a softer ski (its not harder its just different.)

give them a shot

girls: were 13

schmuck: oh yea...me to.......INCHES!
