Question on size of line invaders

[natet]

would 161 be ok for for me i am 5,9 and 140 pounds

 

[Mex_LineJib^a]

no dude. 161 would be too short for the long run. remember these are symmetrical skis so they will ski alot shorter. get at least a 171.

Yeah, I'd agree. In the long-run, especially when you start doing some filling out, the 171 would do a bit better for you in that ski.

If you would feel more comfortable in something short like a 161, you might be better off going with something a little bit stiffer, but still symmetrical like the Volkl Wall. You could also look at something like the K2 Extreme which is more of an all mountain twin in a 164.

Hope this helps.

go with the 171, the symmetrical design makes them feel short

ALSO about your age and how much you are going to grow??
you will fo sho wann get some 171 and also maybe look into or even into the 178

171 is way too small for you, go with a 178.
