Verify Ski size

[zsmith28]

Now that it's the end of the season I'm looking to get some new skis. I'm into the 05/06 AR5s. I'm thinkin 176, cause I am around 130 and 5'7". Right now I'm on 170s, but what do you guys think?

 

[Anathema]

170 would be ideal, but if you really rip, go for the 176. long = faster and tougher, yet techer grabs

 

[zsmith28]

Do you think making the jump from 170 to 176 would be a big difference?

 

[e.will]

in my opinion, prob not, thats only 2.3622047 inches longer

 

[Anathema]

nawwwww. you'll notice that grabs will be tougher, but you'll adjust pretty quick

I ride 171cm and I'm you height and weight.

 

[MrPantyDropper]

cause 176 is over his head...

im exactly your size but 5 lbs heavier and wont ride anything under a 178 from now on. 180+ is the way to go.

 

[CabDoctor]

how did you like going to 180? Im thinking of getting a pair to add to my quiver. right now I got 1010 thrusters in 171.

yeah, I don'k think the extra 6cm will be that big of a diff.
