I am about 5'6'' and about 130 pounds and i need a good powder ski that will be able to ride some park. I have been looking at atomic bent chetlers and blogs and could use some advice on which skis to get too.
 
blends arnt pow skis. theyere 100mm underfoot. and most pow skis arnt best in the park because of there size. if you dont want rocker then some old elizbeths are a fat park stick. or check out some one lifes. a firends says they are awesome in park (ive never tried them) but i like my chopsticks. they arnt the best for big tricks because of their size but they are still funish
 
thanks yeah i was looking at the hellbents they look sick in the powder but with 132 underfoot they seem really fat to be going through the park. Also would 170-178 be a good range to get a powder ski with my height and weight?
 
im 5 foot 8 and 125 pounds and ski on the 183 bent chetlers and have no problem on them. I love them! This is my second year skiing as well so if i can ski them so can you
 
thanks yeah i was looking at the 183 chetlers and blogs in either 177 or 185s. Also could use advice on hellbents since ive heard they do well in being able to ski park but have a 132 underfoot to ski powder
 
I wouldn't go for Blogs or Bentchetlers for park (if you're gonna ski rails). I have a pair in front of me and they have the same narrow edges that JJs have. I'd go for something 175-178 if you really want to spin on and off and do big spins in the park.

Hellbents are gonna be big and slow on rails compared to a narrower ski. Bacons could be a good option. The 182 measures short, its more like 178-9, skis well with a forward mount too. Its hard to tell without knowing how much park (and what in the park) you plan to do.
 
Ideally something 175-180. You're light, 171 Caylors (measure 174) would give you plenty of float and would be super playful in the park. 120mm isn't too big, and they've got super beefy edges.
 
Guys, please tell me your opinions about my choice of Libtech FFF size.

As we know Lib tech FFF 12/13 manufactured in two sizes: 175 and 185cm

My weight is 88kg, height is 176cm, I am a beginner in skis, and I purchase a Libtech FFF in 175cm size.

This size will be good for me or I made a little mistake and this skis for powder is a little short to me?

K+ to all repliers, thanks in advance!
