I am 5'7 and I weigh about 130Lbs.
Im trying to get some powder/all mountain skis for this season in colorado and I found a really nice pair of Icelantic nomads and the only problem is is that they are 181cm tall. I am worried that I cant control these skis very well. But I know you should get powder skis larger then you
181cm = 5"9ish
Thanks
I'd get them. you're 5'7 130 and still growing id think so youll be able to grow into these skis if you think you're too short now. I'd imagine you're riding something around a 170 right now so having a longer powder/big mtn ski in your quiver at 181 isn't a bad thing at all, especially if you keep growing and might eventually use them as dailys because 105 isn't that big of a waist. For reference, I'm 5'10 and mainly ski on 172s and 178s and have 186 as my powder ski. I could go longer or shorter on either of those if I desire but those lengths are where I feel most comfortable. As well, who doesn't want the Oskar Blues edition Nomad?
