park rat

163 or 171

id say 160-170, if youre really comfortable on skis go with the higher end so closer to 170 if you arent as good and youre learning go for lower size.

I'm like intermediate so i'll prob go with like a 163

163 forsure. 170 cm is like 12 cm taller than you which would be 100% overkill for a park ski even if you are hitting 60-80 foot booters or unless you weigh 200 lbs. it will be a lot easier to progress and stuff on shorter skis cause they are easier to throw around. Honestly park skis should be within 5 cm of your height on either side unless you are exceptionally light or heavy.

As far as inexpensive recommendations line tigersnakes are both pretty soft and pretty cheap but they are a more entry level park ski. Chronics are another good option little beefier and a bit higher quality while still being within a reasonable price. Those are just the first to that come to mind.

Yea I think i am gonna go with the chronics for next year, thanks for the advice.

Just get skis that are as tall as you. That's what I do, and it seems to work well. Otherwise skis that are just barely taller than you. I'm about 5'10" so I ride 174

They aren't taller than me. They're pretty much exactly my height, Domains

ah ok I read your original comment wrong. my buddy had a pair of domains and they seem to run a little bit bigger anyway.
