Wanna know what sizes of the kartel would be best for me, I'm around 5 foot 5 Advanced level. Not sure if I should get the 161 which might be a bit short or the 171 which would be a bit long, I usually ski glades moguls and rarely park

Any input appreicated

I'd say go 161, as ON3P are true to size. Actually, they are even little bigger than stated. My K108 186 is 187,1

But also consider that Kartels have very aggressive and big rocker

West coast but my mountain doesn't get much snow. I am a couple hours away from Revy/Whis though and Am likely gonna go to both a couple of times

How much do you weigh? Are you still growing? One ski quiver or do you have any other skis?

Looking for one ski as I don't have the money for more than one, still growing a bit and weight is somewhere in the mid hundreds

If you are still growing, I'd likely size up with the rocker if you are a strong skier. That will let you grow into the skis for awhile. 166 would be ideal now, but if you grown another inch or so, then I would be fully behind the 171cm. Hope that helps! If you want to chat more, just let us know.

Think I'll go with the 171 since by the time I start using it mid this season I'll most likely be at least an inch taller and would prefer a longer ski

Thanks for all the help
