Rockered ski sizing?

[LijeBing]

Hey i'm 5' 11" and I'm thinking about buying some on3p filthy riches in a 171. The skis are super rockered, so im wondering should I go bigger than that??

 

[RubberSoul]

it depends on the specifics of the ski but rockered skis do tend to "ski short"

anyway, at 5'11" 171 is too short IMO anyway. i'm the same height and use 183s and that's very normal

assuming youre a decent skier and won't have trouble handling them, yeah i'd def go bigger than that

Go with something a lot longer. I'm 5' 3" and ride a 166cm fully cambered park ski just fine. I would get something 180+

YES! im 5'8" and i ride a 174 park ski... so yes get the next size up

 

[MAvallon]

Definitely get the 181s... Just curious what size are you riding now

Well I've been riding 171 in a full camber ski, so after getting the 171 Filthy's off some dude for super cheap i realized i was an idiot and hadn't thought about the rocker.

Definately get longer ones..

Im 5'7" And ride 179 one lifes.

Take your regular ski size and get a ski 10-15 inches longer

If this is for a primarily park ski, should I get the 181 or 186 model?

I'm 6'2" and ride 179 K2 recoil which run 183. Can't get bigger skis
