180's for 5'10 skiier? - Gear Talk - Forums
<-- Back to thread listing
but it also has to do with strength. if you have the strength to turn a longer ski, and your short and light, then you can handle a longer ski
basically is what kind of skiing you do, and what your body type is, and your height and weight
when i fit kids for season leases at my shop, and they are in between sizes, i usually base it on how long they've been skiing and if their a little wimpy kid or if they are stronger (for their age)

im like 5'9, maybe 5'10 and i just got 180's
they are twin tips, so that means they are a little shorter. and they are also a little bit rockeres (tip and tail) so that means they are even shorter.
I used to ski a 172, now this ski should ski something like that, except with that added length for stability and what not

Ski length should be based on weight, not height. So, if you gained a few pounds, then yes you should get longer skis. Ultimately will you be able to handle 180s? Yep. It will just take a little getting used to.
weight, skier type, and ski are also factors, but for the most part you'll be able to get used to it after a couple of runs.

well height and weight usually go hand in hand. unless your that kid who's 6'4 150. from Nov 4 2009 11:10:33:Ski length should be based on weight, not height.

I picked up some butterlicous. Im getting close to 170 for weight. I have been working out a lot since school started so I guess I should be fine. Just thought that maybe someone else might of had a problem with the length. I jib most of the time but this year im gonna work a lot on jumping. Thanks for the info guys

skiing isn't a sport, for most, it's a lifestyle. ~Scott22~
Afterbang cannot be found if one is looking. Afterbang must find you, and you must find your place within Afterbang. To reach for it is to let it slip from your grasp, but to let it go is to hold it with all your strength.
Keep it hyphy, young apprentice. -TheAntiThug

T "It's my storm. I can make it do whatever I want."
Im 510, i have 181's... and 85's. you'll be fine.
OH PSYCH!
im your size and pretty much wont ski anything under 180. youll find the length to be a good thing. more speed, stability, edge grip, pop, etc. a tad more swing weight, but that doesnt take too long to get used to. youll like um.
