Ski length advice

[Icant_kfed]

I am 6’3, currently riding 184 Allplays and 193 enforcers, but I found a pretty good deal on a pair of 181 filthy riches and was wondering how they actually measure and how they ride with all that rocker

I think On3p in generaltends to run longer. My 181 jeffreys are definitely not 181, they definitely run kinda big. Here’s them next to my 180 keys. I’m guessing they’re more like 184 than 181

Throw a tape measure on 'em and let us know. The difference looks big in the photo

Vishnu measures before pressing. On3p measures after. Those should be 181cm but that looks like a bigger difference. Measure both. I'm curious

Also worth mentioning measuring before pressing is the norm, I think only ON3P and maybe a few others measure after pressing. Plus even then, stated dimensions are sometimes a little off.

We don't have ON3P skis in the database, but in general, I find that looking at the running length can be more consistent than looking at the tip-tail length to size skis. The running length is the part that touches the snow, so you can compare skis with little or lot of rocker together and get a better idea on how they will ski. Obviously, things get more complicated in soft snow as more of the ski touches the snow...
