Walls are a pretty good park ski, but if you ski more out of the park you should have looked at the bridges. Don't go anywhere near marker bindings, People are excited for the Jester but nobody has really ridden them yet. If you can get Rossignols bindings try to get a pair of FKS120's/FKS155's depending on your weight.

im like 145lbs now, but by end of november i should be well past 150..

i ordered the walls for about $225 and those bindings you mentioned i can get for 60% off.. but i also have the karmas which i LOVE...so i got the walls for days i plan for 90% park.


back to point, would my wait benefit more on the 155s from rossi?

Time for a binding guide sticky? Even a site feature on how to pick skis/boots/bindings based on your needs would be good to cut down on these threads.

I would go with a 180+ ski with your height and weight....

169 is WAY too short.

dont take under 177 or it will feel way too small especially if you center mount them

Depends on your skill level and what/where you are going to be skiing, if its going to be exclusively park than I would say 177, 185s are going to be harder to throw around.  If just a little park, than the 185s.

i'm 5'11" and i'm on 185cm. i really like the stability of longer skis so i think you would benefit from at least a 177 or more.
