I'm 6'1 and around 140lbs, I was going to get a 171cm. I'm pretty much only park. Should I go with the 171cm??

171 is short. you are light so thats more ok but would definitely go bigger at your height in the long term

Hanging on the thread, I'm 171cm height, 140lb and advanced skier. I've been using some volkl carver 177cm for three years and now I'm switching to an All Mtn Twin tip pair (Revision Talismán).
Should I get the 166 or the 176 cm model? It is basically for All Mtn (Groomies and light powder, maybe i'll get myself to the park)

Id go 176 just because you are already on a 177 and the revisions have rocker in the tip which makes them ski shorter

Thanks for the advice Man, I'm just wondering if the measurements between companies are the same, if its not the case I might be getting some straight long skis...

Companies do size differently. Like k2 sizes big, that's all I can think of off the top of my head tho.
