Hey NS,That time of year where i get new skis....

I'm 5'9 and i was wondering what length of park skis i should get and why?

Also what length of powder skis would be good.

Thanks!

+k for legit answers
 
I'm 5'10" and my next pair will be a 176cm-178cm. I like a bit of a shorter ski, though, a lot of people would even go up to 182 or so at my/your height. This is for park, I have no experience in powder.

Anywhere in the range I just mentioned should work great for you. What brands were you thinking of?
 
Park: Agreed

Powder: IF you are getting a ski that has lots of rocker get bigger so like a 180 maybe.

So out the JJs or whatever pow ski you are riding to your nose where the Rocker ends and you will see how little the ski touches on a rockered powder ski.
 
Park: I have been on pow and in the park. I am 5'9 and i have 169 Solomans for park, but i would like something a little shorter like a 167 or somewhere around there. It really depends on what your preference is but you definitely dont want really long skis for park. Powder: I have a seperate pair of powder Solomans and since i am 5'9 my pow skis are 175. I would recomend something longer for sure.

I am not a professional ski matcher by anymeans but I have been skiing all my life and this is waht i would recomend. Hope i was some help.
