 Hi i'm 172 cm tall and my weight is about 60-65 kg. I'm thinking about getting the Völkl Ledge 2010. I ski 80 % park and 20 % powder. Are the 176cm good for me?

Hey New Guy :D

i bouhgt myself some Ledges this year too. im about 6'1 or 189 cm and ski the 176cm for park only. These Skis are complete park skis and they are 100% symetrical so you should mount them at dead center. you will be able to ski maybe 10-20 cm of pow. but it will not be that great :D

for your weight and your height i would suggest you the 169 Ledges. it will be good for park (where these skis are supposed to be skied) to have them a bit shorter.

just my two cents. if you have any other questions post in here or shoot me a PM i can give you a quick review about the skis :D

i got the 10/11 model (the black one with the rollercoaster-thingy on them) besides this the 09/10 are basically the same ski just with other graphics.

sounds strange that you cant get them in 169cm. for me it was really hard to grab a pair of 176 because they only sell 169 here :D

were are you from? maybe i could help you (im from Europe/Germany)

I'm from finland. I think i'm gonna get the 10/11 too because they have them in 169 cm. and the 10/11 come with Marker Squire bindings

If you riding mostly park you should get the 169 IMO it will be easier to whip them around
