Icelantic Da'Nollie Sizing

I'm really digging these skis from both what I've read and heard. I found a great deal on Evo for $375 but the biggest they have is the 170. I'm 5'9-5'10 and am skiing on a 164 Punx at the moment. These feel short but I can still do stuff with them/hit sizable jumps without them feeling like ski blades. Are 170's a good size for a guy my size? I am still growing a little bit. Thanks!

I think thats a fine size for a jib ski for your size. I wouldnt go any smaller, id say 170 should be at the minimum of your ski size range.

If you are still growing, I would not recommend them. If you are done growing, it would be iffy

Thanks for the reply, helps a ton. But say I grow another two or three inches before the time comes for new sticks. Would they still be okay? Or is my range for my current height?

even if you grow an inch or teo more i think youd be fine. Again, i wouldnt go any shorter but for a park ski in maine i think youll do ok on the 170s.
My last park skis were 171 invaders and im 5'8 at the end of the day. They were fine for me. If you were looking at the nomads i would advise you to get the 181s but thats an all mountain ski where you would want the extra stability for ripping through crud.
Im not sure on the mountin point on DaNollies but thats something to consider as well. Center mount vs -2 might be a game changer for you

I guess they are symmetrical so theres only one mounting point so ignore my last bit

I dont know actually. You grow a little bit and at 6ft your 183cm tall. That seems a little to big to be on a 170.
The ski would be like 4 inches below the top of your head. It would be level with your eyes probably. That just seems kinda small to me

Alright thanks for all the help, 10/10. I'll pass on these for now.

I think thats smart. If they were cheap it might be different but $375 is a lot for skis.
Grab a pair of Surfaces for $200 instead and get the proper size (176-182)

HMMM. Im 5'11 and i just picked up the 180cm da'nollies just 2 cm's longer than my Ninthward LT Pro's, iWhen you get to a certain level of skiing its all preference in size, long ski's lead to stability and short ones you can huck. its all what your feelin'
