Gear Talk. It depends on how you want to ski.

If you don't know what you want, play it safe and get something between the height of your nose and your height. Nice and medium

Sorry for wrong forum.. I wasnt 100% sure, hah

I love doing butters, and fucking around on rails, but i also like hitting big jumps...

Some of the people i have talked to says i should get 5cm shorter or the same height as myself..

I always get skis that match up to my nose but to be honest it's all off of personal preference. I'm relatively short (5' 9") so my skis are pretty small and I feel like having longer skis would just be a hassle.

i normally ride skis that are my height or are just a few cm's longer (for pow skis).

ive found that for park about your height works well, especially if they have early rise

I usually go anywhere on my forehead but my current pair is my height maybe slightly taller than I am.

between the chin and the top of your head is a typical go-to

Well personally i ride 170's (i'm 5'6 which is like 168cm) which is a little longer than I am tall. Then again they're last years halos so they have rocker and have extremely light swing weight. Still feels a little long though. I'd definitely go with something between your nose and the top of your head.
