Ski size?

[AssMunch]

So hey guys! I'm about to buy my first pair of skis. I'm going to buy Salomon Suspect but I'm not quite sure what size I should buy? I'm 5.7" nearly 5.8" (175CM)tall
Also! What boots should I get from Salomon?

gear talk

Fair enough

Gear talk. And dont just get boots because they are from salomon. Buy a boot that fits you properly. and i would say 171-181 for ski size

 

[AssMunch]

Moved it to gear talk and thank you kind sir. +karma and all that

 

[kootenayklaus]

And fitting boots because it prevents shin bang in most cases and you most likely will not know what that is by the sounds of it but it is A BIIITTTTCCCHHHH. And im not sure if salomon increased their skis edge sizes but if youre doing rails 1.5 mm edges wont cut it for you.

I am going to do alot of Urban rails, got no mountains where i live

DO NOT BUY SUSPECTS THEN. I had a pair and hated them. Look into Line Afterbangs, this years K2 Domains, or ON3P Blue Steeles. You will most likely want a softer ski and Salomon's skis are as stiff as Chuck Norris's boner. And i also wouldnt get your hopes up on urban your first year of park skiing. Its hard and as sketchy as fuck.

 

[AssMunch]

I love it when stuff gets hard

 

[AssMunch]

Dear Nik. With your so called expertise could you please help me find some good boots and bindings?

 

[Mr_pretzel]

Do somewhere and try on boots the boot that fits is the best boot for you.

And skis def get 177 afterbangs if your only skiing urban.

 

[AssMunch]

I'm also going to be riding Park and I'm going to make some jumps on a hill

 

[Mr_pretzel]
