Im 5'10, 155 pds, and lookin at a pair of line anthems. thinkin about getting 178, but idk if that wud b to long. my current skis are 166 which feel a bit short. i ski mostly park, and im hopin this skis will last me through highschool. thaanks for the help
"Don't fix it if it ain't broke (don't buy something completely different if you like what you've got)". i like how previous pairs ~169 ski, with a tight turning radius and fun for presses and fun for butters and stuff, so i bought 171s. truth be told, i wanted something bigger than that, but I didn't want to buy something that would be a completely different animal, you know? i wanted a go kart, not a school bus.
everyone on here wants everyone else to get long skis. it's true you'll do fine. but imo, i think there's a point where you gotta say hold up a sec... they sell three sizes, and i'm NOT a large guy...hmm... maybe i could get away with 178s, or maybe 171s would be more fun! esp. as you're probably not hucking 70+ ft. booters regularly and you're not a big guy.
/rant lol.
the diference between 171 and the 178's is a 3 inch difference.
in my eyes that isnt that big of a difference
