Im a park skier and im 6’0. I would say im an “expert” skier and was wondering if 191 would be too long....any advice? Thanks!
 
6'3" here. I ride 183's and I like to keep it around 180-185. For me, 191's would be too much for a park ski. It's doable, but that's a lot of ski to try to whip around if you plan on spinning, especially if they're 100 underfoot. If you like big, floaty tricks and you're going to split your time between park and the rest of the mountain I think you'll be fine.
 
Going to add in here to counter above. Used to ride 181s, got Kartel 186s and I've probably ridden 90% park this far and love them. Wood length 190, straight tape 186.3... i wouldn't be concerned about 191

Probably not too long.

What size are you on now?

Which Nomad are you looking at and for what are you planning to use them?

Im mostly gonna use it for park.... they r 95 wide
 
My friend is like 5'7" and he rides the 181's and loves them, so I'd say you should be fine on the 191's since they're a pretty soft ski.

For park I don't know. If you were looking at the 105, 115, or 125 I'd say absolutely go for the 191 but for a straight up park ski maybe not.
 
i'm 6'0 and ride a 190 icelantic gypsy sknny (same ski more or less) for park and think its perfect. Rips all mountain as well
 
I'm 6'0 and I ride the 191 95's, way sick definitely get the 191. The soft flex and the rocker makes them ski short and on the 181 I washed out a decent amount. The first few days you might feel like they're a bit long but you'll come to appreciate the extra length 100%
 
All love here but...how does one become an “expert” park skier, not knowing what size skis he should ride? Just curious.
