Surface sizes

[gc12]

so i used to ski when i was little for about 5 years, i was pretty good for the 2 or 3 times a year i went...after that i snowbladed for a 2 years and then snowboarded and skied for the last 10 years...now im ready to make the switch to just skiing...i just need a little help with sizing...im just about 5 11 and weigh about 145, it will be for about 60/40 all mtn/park, and i will be skiing east coast conditions...do i want to go with a 171 or a 181??

thanks

Well, if you are intermediate...I would say 181, mounted like 2 cm behind true centre. If you like a shorter ski, 171 will be oay, but for reference, im 5'7" and on 176...so I believe you can handle a 181 with no issues.

i think those are pretty soft too so i would go 181

I'm 6'0 and love the fact I got talked into a bigger ski, 182 all mtn and 180 park. Def go w/ the 181s...
