I'm thinking to buy new PE.
I weight 147 lbs, what size do u think i should buy?
174 or 169?
I now have the ar5 180, they look to be too heavy and long for me!!!
I ski all mountain and obviosly park, but just at the beginning.
I'm not going to grow up in next year, that's for sure
What do u think?
Thanks a lot

How tall are you??? Height has a lot to do with what size you should get.

i'm 5.8
sometimes it looks my ar5 180 looks to be too long
what do u think, is it better if i short down a bit?
consider that my level of skiing is good, but my level of freestyle skiing is really at the beginning.
maybe a softer , shorter ski would fit me better??

The thing is that i want a more "easy" ski.
I consider myself a quite aggressive skier, but as i told before my freestyle level is not that high!
so instead of the ar5 180 , u think that a pe 174 would be easier? (I ask for this 'couse i con find great great deal with k2)If not the pe what's your advice?
Thanks

I think that the 174 PE would be a really good ski for you.

yea 169 is a good size, you really dont want them too big because it will be harder to spin and stuff. the 169 is a good size, not to big yet not to small
