HEy,

So im in need for new skis for the next season, ones thaqt are more flexible and can be centered, my friend one some in a contest the shell sell to me for cheap and there a nice ski. Is there any major differences in a mans ski and a womans ski?? and also im about 6' 1'', would a 169 cm ski be big enough for me? i mean i know its small but will it still be a good centered park ski for me, or is it just too small?

Thanks for the help! i really need it haha

those would be tiny for you. and find a pair of men skis! you will be happier in the long run with men skis. and women skis is a very small selection so just find a  good pair of men skis you like.

unless you weigh very little they would work. just go with mens 176's or 181's

Go 181 center makes them feel way shorter too. Riding those girls skis will be like riding snow blades

and now begins the multi-page thread of insecure little 13 year olds claiming that they ride 190s or other absurd lengths. his question wasn't asking about YOU, but rather just asking for information.
