Ski length question

[thenakedcellist]

So im 5'10 145 pounds and am thinking about getting armada ar6 176 center mounted?

should i go bigger or smaller?

 

[Malcolm]

id say 171 centered. thats wat ive got and im about that

 

[alaskakid]

^thats pretty short. don't go lower than that current length, or maybe longer. its all preference man

 

[Mr.LemonPie]

you have to remember that skiing center makes the skis shorter, so 176 should be perfect centered. A little long if they were at recomended but centered you could even jump up to the 181s if you wanted, but it is all about if you ski agressive and what you prefer. In general 176 should be good though.

Anything less then a 215 and you're a pussy.

But I have 2 pairs of centermounted 171's (addicts measure shorter than the invaders) and they feel kind of short of me and I'm 5'8/5'9 so 176 might be good.

 

[tjski]

the size seems pretty good for you. they may feel a tad short center mounted.. im 5'4" and ride 171's

 

[-Nick-]

noooo definitely not. get 176, you wont be sorry

 

[Balto]

i have 181 center and they ski like a 176 at recomended

My park skis are 181 center mounted and I'm 5'10" about 155 and they handle fine, I have no problems.

 

[Silence]

176 would be fine. Armada's recommended point is quite far formard in the first place

 

[A@ron]

ya thats a good length center them for sho tho

 

[Parker.]

i agree

 

[C_Nelson]

176 sounds good... dont go anything smaller then your head hight or your kinda a pussy

 

[poofartpee]

and aggressivness/ability

 

[rj.]

center mount. they should probably be as tall as you.

 

[Lemuel]

i hav ethe same height and weight as you and i ride on 171 invaders, which i got last year and i should have gone for the 178. go bigger. in the beginning of the season they felt real short but i got used to them. it depends on what you want.
