Ski lengths,

[Shorton]

Right, So im think of getting some salomon foils, I'm 5ft 5 and weigh around 110 lb's , What size would be best, and should i center mount? I ski about 40% park 40% pow and 20 groomers.

 

[BenJAMIN4aWhil3]

im not exactly sure what salomon has for sizes this year but for your hight and weight you should go for something in the 165ish range... and mount them 3 or 4 cm up from midsole... that way you still get the park performance you want without killing your pow performance...

 

[Shorton]

Thats good, my shops got them in 166 which sounds good,

 

[teamsleep]

thats perfect

 

[Shorton]

and any opinons on the foils, good or bad? any problems?

 

[ikellen]

They ski a bit short due to their suggested mount, but 166 should be fine for you.

 

[Tucks]

Get the mount of the bindings 2cm/mm I can't remember what they measure in and get 160's to 170's

 

[DopeSauce]

I'd go around 171s, because to me 168s feel a bit small and 176s feel a bit too big. Oh and I'm 5'5

 

[skithedirt]

in the mid 160s

 

[ski@work]

Yeah.. Mid 160's to low 170's (166's or 171's)

Personally for allaround I'd say get the bindings mounted 2 to 5 cm behind centre. (5cm if you ski on Ice a lot, 2cm if you're in pow more often)

i have 166 and they are great im about 5 6 and i love them. They have a foam core so they loose their pop after a few seasons but by then u will outgrow them.

 

[Charles^stevens]

i just skied foils last night, they have a really good flix range and there pretty light (but thats compared to 170 ar5s) they are a real solid ski too

 

[LostValleyPowMan]

166 - 170

 

[skier24]

yea get the 166s

they are a really fun ski
