Too small skis

[Ghost_BLandzV2]

So last season I rode skis that are small as fuck and now its time to buy new ones and im worried about the sizing. Last year I had 2 year old Salomon suspects size 161 and now I want to buy Icelantic Danollies size 180 but im worried they will feel huge. Im currently 6" tall and I know they have tons of rocker but I dont know what to get.

If you gave a little more information like your height, weight, and skier ability it would make it a lot easier to come to a conclusion. Seeing as you are 6' you should be fine with the 181's

What is your weight? If you're six foot, anything below 175 is too small.

I weigh 150 and I ski mostly park. I can K-Fed and 900 and all that shit.

im 5'8" and i ride a small ski at 163, 166, and 140(if you can imagine that). my friend is 6' and loves the length on his 177 NRGY's and a low 180 something K2's

i'm 5'10 and i ride 176 Filthy Riches. you'll be fine with a 181

 

[Swandog7]

I'm 5"5 and ride a 164

 

[Dirtskiing]

If they make a 176 i would go with that. If they don't i would go with 180

 

[shin-bang]

181 all day. I swapped from like a 159 to a 188. Definitely takes some getting used to but worth it in the long run

[SofaKingSick]

youre light but you'll def be fine with 180s at 6 feet haha. rule of thumb is your height plus or minus a couple inches if you want for considerations of skill, style, where you ski, etc

erase any worry from your mind, youll be just fine in 180s. 161 was just way too small

I'm 5 '4 and ride Vishnu Wet 177 cm. Apparently the wets ski about 171 cm due to tons of rocker but that is still long so you will be absolutely fine with 180. They are supposed to fit me for like 3 years though.

They are exactly 1 foot taller than you.

So...you immediately overpower your skis within the first turn?

Yeah, I've since ditched the 140s

 

[kung_powpow]

I'm 5' 11" and ride 171 park skis and 192 pow skis so I don't think you'll have a problem with the bigger skis

 

[milk_man]

I'm 5'11" and ride 174 Domains. I mean if I were you I would do something in the 170's. But I'm sure you'd be just fine with 180s.
