Long is the way. And hard, that out of hell leadsup to light.

from your posts and stuff cruz is sounds like you are a pretty good skier. I say definitely go with the longer ski. Not to mention, twin tips take away running length, a 170 twin is about a 165 reg(dependin on company, e.g., Line has super curved tips for less length) but yeah, go for some 170, you will grow into them anyway.

'Yeah, I'll get that cleaned up lickity-split. Speaking of lickity-split what do you say you and I meet up later, see what's going on? Just kidding. But seriously, I'm new in town, kinda lonely, looking for my parents..'

Yeah, im in the east, so mostly groomer/ice/slush. I was thinking either 169 PE's, 170/176 ar5's, or the 175 TM's.

Or if there out by next season 4frnt 170 MSP

yea no problem remember our parents use to ski on 200's before twins and carving skis in the bumb. So it's not that hard to ski with a long ski.

im 5'4' and i was on 174 this season- it was tight, but i way more, go with 169 PE's their tight, i coped some fo real deal

My Girlfriend is about your height (probably a little taller) and is about your weight...very aggresive skier, skies at mach 25555 sometimes and she skis a 160. Her powder skis are a 170 for christ sake. If you're gonna grow, you could probably get away with a 170 twin.....but I say go with a 165 twin or so. I don't know why so many of you think there is a distinct advantage to having tons more ski that you need....it makes no sense. But hey, personal preference is just that....a personal preference. My two pennies.

-m-

Plus by winter I will grow some, 170 = 66.something inches, and I will be that tall by winter for sure.

Freezy, he won't gain any control with a longer ski, he'll lose it. It's simple physics. Stability, sure.....if he needs it but he DOESNT, the kid weighs a buck-ten. I shit more weight than him in a day. 175 = too long, waste of ski. 170 = okay.......sure, prolly will be fine, he'll grow into it. He's going to go through life never knowing what it's like to ski the right ski length cause people say shit like 'my 100lb brother skis 190's' and people who don't know think it's cool. Far from right.

There's a reason world cup slalom skiers are skiing 155's when they're 6'2 and 190lbs. Today's skis are designed to give you more control at a shorter length. They are much stiffer torsionally and longitudenally.

Cruz- If you really are nervous go demo or start burrowing people's skis to see what length is for you. No one can sit here and tell you what you should get, cause it all comes down to what you want. Consider that you live in the east and don't ski much powder. If you get into powder skiing anyone will suggest getting another ski down the road.

K----i'm fired up now.
