Subject: What size ski for rails?
I ski 90% rails as I live in the UK. Which size ski would be best for me 171 or 176. I am 5"11 and wight around 10-11 stone.
Cheers
Most Dope.
Depends on the ski? And where are you skiing? There's more than 10:90 jumps to rails everywhere.
176 for sho ... I'm 5'11" and riding 172s in the park and their feeling kinda short at the moment

Just depends what u like...short skis are a lil squirrelly but easier to get tricks around.

im 5'10 and i ride alot of rails.. i ride a 171 which is enjoyable and comfortable for everything... but feel 176's wouldn't wouldnt hurt for enjoyment of rails and jumps.
I'm assuming your skiing dryslope so I'd say go with the 171s because theres not gonna be anything that will really require the longer ski on the dryslope and shorter skis are better for rails and such.

judging by your photo on your profile you DO ski at a real mountain, if so I'd advise the 176's at LEAST.
I'm 5'8 and I ride 177, but I ski only rails. So I'd go with the bigger size, then again; it's all preference.
Pretty sure your logic is airtight, just like Max Hill's jeans.

Go with 176s
That's just the way she goes. Sometimes she goes, sometimes she doesn't go. Today she didn't go, and that's just the way she goes.
176 for sure! youre going to want the extra length when you get that urge to hit the jumps. I'm 5'8 and went from 171 suspects to 176 switchblades and I enjoyed that little bit of extra length. It just gives you more platform to land on. INB4 thats what she said.

176 but if your scared their going to be to long then get rocker because they ski a bit shorter
Your 5'11'' ? 176 no question. If your trying to spin 900s or more, then maybe think about getting 171 for the lightest possible ski to spin faster. Otherwise go with the 176. It will do everything you want it do.

I'm 5'8 and ride mostly rails, I use 171, longer skis honestly feel nicer (to me at least) no matter what you're doing. I'd say go with the 176s, that is assuming that you're skiing real snow and will be center mounting
