Ok so im 5,9 165 pounds and i live in tahoe. I've been skiing for like 3 years but I have caught on quickly. So im new to skiing , but im an aggressive skier.

I wanted to get a pair of powder/ mess around skis for the deep days and i really like the idea of rockered skis.

What size should i get?

Just make sure you unrocker them after you get them using stairs like suggested in that thread on ski gabber.  You will want to ski park with those skis, so unrocker them.

i really hope this is a joke. if not, you really dont know shit about anything.

get 179 and mount true center. the rocker allows u to have amazing float and no tip dive at all even mounted at true center, and switch cababilities are off the chain

Someone obviously didn't read that thread, go find it...funny shit.

And knowing K2 and that tri-axial braided whatever-the-hell-it-is core, they'll probably be pretty hefty.
