i went to this ski shop a few months back to look for some new skis, and before i rode 150s, and i told the guy i wanted more shape, and he said i should drop down to 140s, but is this necessary? i thought it was the other way around, as in longer is better? well im only 5'1', and i know height isnt the only factor, but should i go with something longer or shorter?

 
always go longer.

When I read about the evils of drinking, I gave up reading.

sit booboo sit. Good dog.

 
Definately don't go down to a 140. People here will tell you to get 170s, but it'd be good to stick in the 150-165 range depending on if you like a longer or shorter ski.

Yeah i'm about to convert was riding 168cm now moving up to 177cm. Not sure what it will be like, but I will be most likley have more speed and stability, but spinning would take longer to get use to

i would go somewhere between a 155-165. i think 150 is too short but its all personal preference. you shouldnt really listen to anybdoy on here telling you what size to get because they dont know how you ride and what kind of riding you do. you should just try some out if you live out west.

 
depends on a lot. Weight, height, how aggresively you ski, etc. line1260line was doing pretty well with his 155-165. I'd split the difference and say 160, but try to demo some stuff.

PJ Cliche: Total skate influence. Even doh dis is on concrete, an you are face sideways, an it has sweet fuck all to do with ski, skate 'as play a huge role wit my steeze.

 
Im like 5'6 and have 170's, but when I bought them I was prolly 5'4

I think next year Im going for 180's or so
