176 skis are taller than me but the 170s are yp to my eyebrows

 

[iggyskier]

don't be a pussy. 176 at least.

you have to think, they are twinned (probably) which makes them shorter, and you are mounting foward....always go longer.

it isn't about height, it is about weight.

^Even if he's a twig, he should still get 176.

realize that when you go up in size its not a huge diff b/c it adds length in the front and back, not just one end

get them up to your forehead if you're not a very advanced skier or if you're getting super heavy powder skis. but if you can handle it all then I would suggest a 176 cause you're probably still growing so they'll last you longer.

because I like pooh.

hahaha stupid dolphins.

5"10 isnt smaller then 176cm. I have the 176 ar5 and im 5'9 and a half and im taller then the ski.

A good pickup line is

Ive been skiing since I was about three so not being able to handle the ski is not a problem. Im just wondering that the skis might be too heavy and I might have problems spining onto rails and doing switch ups.

The skis that im thinking of are the chronics in 172 or 177, ar5s in 176 or stl's in 177. From what I've heard the stl's were really soft last year and im wondering if they have become a bit stiffer. When I see all the pros riding softer skis they are usually are in a longer length, does this make the skis a bit stiffer or does it just make them longer so its harder to wash out?

Feedback would be good
