I can't stand these threads! They fucking piss me off so much.

How the hell are we supposed to know what size you want. A little info such as:

Height
Weight
Brand of preference
Skill
Width you want
Any other info about you/past skis you've had.

Try and think your trying to sell a set of skis, and what info you would need to do so.

And no need for bold, no need at all.

If your 6'2, 165 lbs, may I ask why your wanting a 171cm park ski? that is awfully short, even too short for me, and im 5'8.

as for skill level, what size jumps do you take, what is your general ability. Can you spin a 5, a 7, a 9? Can you spin on and off rails?

You do realize that your ski size depends more on weight than height right?  Just because you are 5'8" doesn't mean that he should right a bigger ski than you, you could be 50 pounds heavier.

Its a generalization.

At 165 lbs, I would say you should be looking more for a 176cm-182, depending on the flex of the ski.

For a stiffer ski, like the PE, Karma, or Ghetto, a mid 170 would be best. However, for a softer ski, such as t-halls invaders, or foils, look into a larger length.

For the most part, height and weight go hand in hand. Typically, you want a ski that is within 5cm below or above your own height. Some like longer, some like shorter. Its all preference, and from the looks of it, he doesnt seem to have one.
