Skis too short?

[Hysix]

Earlier this year I copped some brand new ON3P Kartel 96’s in the 176 length for an insane price. But as the season gets closer I’m starting to worry they may be too short for me (I’m 6’1ish) especially because I’ve never skied a heavily rockered skis before. Is that no good or am I worried for nothing. Im an ice coast native as well if that’s helps. Much appreciated

Tbh your probably fine. Sure it’s a bit short but the skis were a steal.

Well how much do you weight and what skill level are you and what kind of skiing are you into? 176cm is a short ski for 6'1".

135, not an expert but advanced for sure. Will the rocket make it ski shorter?

Just do a lot of spins and quick swaps?

If they feel too short just sell or trade for something bigger?

Think it's gonna be OK. But always check the skis' features before the purchase

At 134lbs they will be ideal. You would not really want any bigger. Enjoy.

Kartel 176 cm is more like other brands' 180 cm.

yeah, due to your weight I think you'll actually really like that length
