so i won some 2016 176 bdogs at a raffle the other night, and i'm contemplating mounting em up or flipping for some cash.

The problem with mounting them is that i'm 6'2", 185-190lbs. i have a feeling they're a bit too small, what do you guys think

Id consider that too small yeah. Depends what skis you already have though, having a shorter buttery park pair can be fun as hell, but 176 for 188cm is too small if you wanna shred the moutain regularly with em and hit bigger jumps. I mean I consider 176 just a bit small and i'm 180.

if you wanna buy some skis, sell em for sure. If you don't particularly need the money and already have a park pair, keep em, they'll be fun af for jibbing.

yeah i'm thinking that they're just barely too small to not work for me. Also i think goin from a 195 jj to the bdogs would be weird as hell

After getting used to 189s, I don't think I could go down to something that small again. I would sell them and get something I want.

Will Wesson rides small skis but he pretty much only does rails otherwise I'd say that's too small.
