To the people that keep asking about what ski size to get follow these simple steps:

1. Measure how tall you are

2. get a ski that is the sameish height as you, for example you are 180 get a ski that is 180cm or a few cm shorter or longer

3. Reasons for buying longer skis can be that the ski has lots of rocker, you are heavy for your height, you charge hard or Ns told you to buy 190+ skis

4. Reasons for buying shorter skis tighter turn radius, you are light for your weight, more maneuverable and they may be your park skis

5. check on websites how tall the ski actually is, lots of manufactures lie about the length

(Lemme know if i missed anything)
 
^^^^ Exactly. It kills me how many people think bigger is always better. There are so many factors that should be taken into consideration, not just you physical attributes or overall skiing ability, granted those are factors but where you ski, intended use, ski construction, ski design and others play a factor.

Hi, I just did this, I'm 190, where can I get a reckoner 102 in 190 please?
 
I totally agree, you should get the longest skis possible. Ideally, they should be long enough to give other skiers a complex.

Also, get Full Tilts.

A good solution is to buy the 184 and tape 3cm of cardboard on tip and tail.

Or cut your lower legs off. You can ride shorter skis AND you can’t blow an acl if you don’t have one ;)
 
Measure how tall you are, add 10 cm, and then disregard that and just buy the longest ski in stock
 
Hi yall I wonder if I should go for on3p j96 in 166cm. Currently riding the 161s. Im 110 pounds (50kg) and about 5,3-5,4 (163cm). What do you recommend for me? thanks

Do you feel like you want more speed and stability? Or are you growing?

I can see you definitely able to use the 166, it’s just a matter if it matches your skiing. You the 161 will be slightly lighter and easier to turn, but the 166 will offer more ski
 
They don't usually lie about the length of the ski, they measure it before pressing it (flat). I think there is to much plats in the pressing part so what they can't be as accurate if they measure after.
