what size and what ski overall should i get. I'm 140 and 5'7. Trying to progress at aprk. I can do simple rails and boxes and small spins but i want to get better and maybe compete next year. Any help would be greatly appreciated. And also I am looking for a ski on the cheaper side of things. Thanks!

Fujative in 170-177 or so would be great for you.

How good of a skier are you? If you're a beginner you may wana do 169. I think you'd definitly be able to handle a 179 though, cause you'll be able to flex them fine.

179 will be fine then. They're softer so you're not gona be overpowered.

Well if they seem too big, go for the 169. That's up to you, but I doubt you'll have any problem if you're the skier you say you are.

get either the salomon thrusters or foils. they are probablly the lightest on the market and have the best edge. get a ski size of 165 or bigger anything smaller would be pointless.

get 179's and get them center mounted that way they will seem i bit smaller and if u get the 169's u will regret it when u get better at park cause u will want something a bit bigger. or mayby evan a ar6 in a 176 thats wat im on and im 74kg and 5ft 8
