how tall should your skis be. Personally, I like my skis to be between my chin, and the top of my fore head. how high do you like your skis.(im only doing this because recently ive seen posts of kids telling people to get skis 50 inches taller than they are)



what did that post make you think of me?

Totally depends on usage... normally 180-185, but for powder, 195, and for park, somewhere in the mid 170s.

I'm 185 cms by the way. So I gues my reg skis are almost as tall as me, my pow skis are a bit taller, and my park skis are a few inches shorter. Haha I never stand next to my skis to measure them, so...

Sam Caylor doesn't even ski anymore. He just golfs and claims to be a skier. What a poser.

/\ haha so true.
i'm 5'9' and i've been riding 169's for a while and i'm tired of the short jib stick style, I've started riding more mig mt. so i've gone up to a 182. I've also had a few years of skiing behind me to so i could prob ski up to a lower 190cm ski for powder if i really wanted it. Many factors go into ski lenght: height, weight, skiing ability, primary useage of ski, etc.

im 5'11ish and use 178cm(top of head) for park and 185 for pow. i use the 185s in park alot too but the 178s are easyer to through around.

I dont think I made my self clear. I wanted to hear how tall you like yours skis without saying waht h3o films said, instead saying something like, '3 inches off the top of my head.' I really think some people on this site either like there skis way too tall, or just dont get the lenght thing. 5 6' and rideing 190? Im about 5 9' and id never ride over 175. eh, wahtever.

I like mine as tall as I am, but I am fairly light. (5'5' 114 lbs)
