What size ski is right for me

[Reid69]

How am i suppose to size a park ski? I'm about 5'9 and gonna cop some park skis with Christmas money but what size would be right

 

[Logi]

This is the classic park ski length formula, just enter it into google ((Weight*0.18+148)/2.59) + ((Height*1.60+66)/1.63

I'm curious, what unit for the weight and height are you using for this lol

Same here, I keep getting numbers that are either way too small or way too large using lbs, kg, feet, cm, m, inches

I am like 99% sure you're supposed to use inches and pounds for the units. This formula is from this thread: https://www.newschoolers.com/forum/thread/868378/Park-ski-length

For example, let's say I'm 5'9", 160 pounds. So I enter 160 for the weight and 69 for the height. According to the equation, I should be riding on a ski around 176 cm

So if I’m 5’9 125 pounds I should be on about a 10-176

damnit i bought 183s but should really be on some 277s. i fucked up

 

[lil.Boye]

193 nothing else.

but fr 175-180 should be best

 

[Mattbrippin]

215 anything smaller your a poser

 

[Logi]

No guys all jokes aside, I made a big mistake by not buying 295s instead of my puny 189s. So essentially what you should take away from this, [tag=279792]@Reid69[/tag] is that you really should be riding on nothing lower than a 396.
