Ski size

[DownhillDink]

ok so i bought some 4FRNT STL's 167. im 5' 9" and ski mostly park. good size for me? just wanted to see what you guys think

ummm personally i would say its to short. i might be wrong, but a twin tip should be a little longer than normal skis. where abouts do they come up on you? i just cant picture a 169 on a 5'9

 

[skisquaw@420]

way the fuck to short

well they come up to just above my eyebrow, i used to own 171 invaders and they felt fine so i just went with the size that was closest to that. is that small step down significant? i thought park only skis were supposed to be a bit shorter than say an all-mountain

 

[sick-as-aids]

are you young? growing? i would say that that length could be alright for a season. did you buy them at a store? so did someone sell them to you? if i were you, i would have gone a length bigger than your old ski. but maybe itl be aiit

 

[DownhillDink]

no im 18, done growing. i will get some new skis in a couple of years. maybe 177

 

[sick-as-aids]
