Ski size

[Toona]

I'm 6 foot 150 lbs and wanting to get new skis for next year. I'm wondering what size skis would be good for my size. I'm gonna use for the park and all-mountain.

177ish to 190 depending on the ski’s shape profile (rocker, etc.), stiffness, etc.

Would need to hear what skis you’re considering and your ski ability. Longer usually translates to more stable at speed and on landings but harder to maneuver at slow speeds. Short means easier to throw around but usually a little squirrely at speeds and easier to wash out on less than perfect landings. A good reference point to go by is shoot for a ski right around the same height as yourself.

long ski= big swag/big pp

short ski=no swag/tiny pp
