Too big?

[AMcT]

So I got really lucky and won a pair of skis. The only thing is though is that they are 181's and I'm 5'8". Are this even worth mounting or should I just sell em

They are maybe 3cm longer than I would suggest as a good "all around" size ski for you, but if you get used to them, they will ski very well for you.

 

[MANDER]

It's personal preference, but they are definitely ski-able without hindering your ability. What size are you riding right now?

 

[AMcT]

Right now I am riding a 169 k2 which measured out to be about 173

 

[Piste.Off]

I'm barely 5'9 and all my skis are 180+

Trust me you will like the extra length.

 

[lgski]

they're fine. keep em

 

[GeorgiaJibber]

extra may be good in some cases, u will mob down the hill and not feel suit for example

 

[50Kal]

What skis are they any way?

 

[AMcT]

The are Head the Caddys. Thats the other thing anyone know if they are decent at all?

 

[CalebT]

head makes quality skis so those should be fine. i'm 5'9 and i have 172cm skis and i almost wish i went bigger so i'd say mount them, you'll get used to it and it will be funner with long skis.

i know kids shorter than you that ride 181's... on the other hand, I'm 6'1 and that's what I ride
