i orderd the anthems, and i was denied. long story. so next best this would be reno rockers, right? ive read all the info and i feel self confident enough to not start another "whats the best ski for me" thread, but im just worried about size, and thats it. ive been around NS long enough to know you guys ALWAYS recommend the bigger size option, but 181 sound a little to big for me. ill be using these everywhere and i am 5' 9" and 105. they are very ight, which might help justify, as well as them being rockered. i ordered the 171 anthems and my skis now are 151s. i need to be able to handle them doing swich ups and quick spins. so in conclusion, just tell me yes or no about why they will be alright, and you can say why if you want. also post a picture of the rocker for me for extra karma!
 
first off, go eat some food. like alot of it. before you go to sleep.

i know how it is to have a fast metabolism, but 105 is skinnnny.

second off

if you are comfortable with your skiing, 181 shouldn't be too much- it's only five cm to each tip

but the 171 wouldn't be too bad.

they might be a better choice if you are looking for a rail champion, but the 181s will out perform the 170s every where else.

bottom line.

get the 181s and conquer them, but get the 171s if you like to play it safe
 
yeah 181 is too big for you...just go with 171 jibs. By the way i am 3 inches shorter than you and weigh 45 pounds more....go eat some junkfood
 
if u weighed more than my left leg i would suggest the longer length...but 105?? fuck me. go with the short length man. if you want a managable ski that you can handle and throw around like u say you want, the 181 is going to be way to much for you...cause if u are 105 5'9'' u cant be very strong no disrespect.
go with the shorter length trust me.
 
eating doesnt word, i need an exuse to try to be lazy for a few months. i eat all the time and look! the jibs wont be as good in the pow, and arent as soft. otherwise i would!
 
So first of all. the rockers only come in 181. so this is a go big or go home type deal. and yes you should get them. if its your first day and they're throwing you around you just gotta show em some tough love. and if you really think your too skinny you can always throw on a thirty pound weight vest to up the ante a little bit.
And like seriously what is better than the reno rocker. if a had 550(?) bucks lying around i would have ordered them like a year ago. they are my dream ski. so hearing that you are going to get them makes me happy for you. wooohooo
 
ya, i might as well just get some pow skis this year and thn next year i will eather be big enough for them, and if not il get a smaller size in the, cuz rumor has it people are working on moment about that.JJ's... what what?!?!?!?!?!?
 
hey im 5'9" and i weigh 110 and i know how you feel about having a fast matobolism, i would go with the 171, i just picked up a pair of 171's salomon suspects and i love em, not saying u should get but w/e, i think 181 would be too long for your weight and those skis would own you unless your your as aggresive as an angry rhino
 
for all of those hatin on my weight, look at my profile for my dinner tonight, and im going to sit on my coach eating it until bed time...... o ya!respect the fo hawk, and that is alot of manaysse if you cant tell!
