it seems like 90% of NS is under 5'10'' and no more than like 180 lbs

am i correct in this estimate?

cuz thats what it seems like.

i was wonderin who out there kills it whilst being tall and/or heavier?


im 6'2'' 210 lbs for reference...

The average U.S. male height and weight is 5'10 and 185 lbs, while the avg female height and weight is 5'5 and 163 lbs. Say the average NSer is 15 yrs old, a majority of us haven't fully matured. You are right in thinking the average NSer is shorter than 5'10, and on the lighter side.

My figures: 6'2, 185 lbs

im surprised no one's mentioned spriggs, he's a fucking giant. bibbys pretty tall and lanky too, but i think he looks better skiing because spriggs is long legs/little torso while bibby is the opposite.  i think tall can look reallly stylish if its that proportion (shorter legs, longer torso)

im five ten, 125 pounds. but in no way do i kill it

Part of that is that most of the forum is pubescent teenage boys. Philou is like 6'5'' or somethin rediculous.

im 6'1" 190 lbs and i find that i have great size for backcountry skiing, sometimes i wish i were smaller and lighter in the park though

so i think i counted like 10 or 11 people who said they were under 5' 10''.....and i think this is like the 85th (or close to that) post in here. not every post has mentioned a height but i think the "80%" thing is a little exaggerated....not to flame u but just sayin
