Size Issues

So I'm looking at next year's skis.

I'm down to the following.

The Line Chronic in 167 or the Line Chronic in 177cm.

They each have a 80mm waist.

I ski 100% midwest and east coast.

I've never in my life had to worry about skiing real powder, or anything of the like

I will be most likely putting Look bindings on them.

I'm 5'6' and weigh like 135lbs.

167 or 177cm....?

until this year, I was riding the 164cm 1260's. This year I finally switched to the 171cm Mike Nicks an really like these difference.

However, Line is not making something in this size range as of now.

167 Chronic to 177 Chronic is all I can decide between.

This is hard for me.

I believe I'll be able to demo the 177, which unless I hate them...i will still have no idea.

Since there isn't exactly real skiing around here, I spend a lot of time in the park. Spins-aall directions- rails, everything.

I was thinking the 167 until yesterday when i saw the 177, and it was barely any taller than me with boots on.

i wont drop out of high school for skiing, mom

 
I would go 177cm, if you get to demo them then that will help you decide for yourself, but with you size thats what I'd suggest, I'm riding the 164 1260's..old blue ones, and since I've gotten them I've grown a lot, so if you do any growing they'll be even better for you...plus by the sounds of what you ski, the 177 size would sound better..but thats just my 2 cents.

DEFINITELY 177's, no question. this is assuming you don't suck. and aren't you sponsored by line? ya, 177 for sure, you'll love the stability and stomping power

the skis look like joints cuz they smoke the competition -crystalneedsapark

east coast
 
indeed. 177s

'can you read what that says?'

'donna simma?'

'yes, that's right. now how would that appear in a phone book?'

'simma, donna?'

'that's right now Simma down na!'

Life is not worth living unless there is something worth dying for

i would just try them out man. if you have the ability to test them out i would take advantage of that. you will be able to choose in a minute which you like better.
