5'5", 125 pounds 175 arv's.

I had a few bails last seas because my tips crossed, but other then that i feel they're pretty good length.
My 168 scratches ski like a breeze though.

some people like me from western NY have to settle for 1200 vertical. unlike squaw. MY 186's (I'm 6'2) are considered pretty big for around here.

i wish i had a 1200 vertical. the hills closest to my house are like 550, and 600. try and beat that. the closest to my house, which i go to purely for park, is like short of 300, prolly around 225.

I am 6'0 165pounds and I have 176 T-Hall. I find them a bit short because they are center mounted, if I could I would get the 181.

Im 5'8" around 125lbs (haha light) and i skiied 160s last year and people have recommended i go with something in the 170 range for park and grooms but im wondering if this will be too big a difference? since something around 160 would probably be too short now that i grew? any help would be great
