So i want to buy the new talisman skis from revision. Im about 5'10 (178cm)

Im not sure if i should get the 176 or the 182s
I'll mainly ride park but im not the most experienced yet. I want to up both my jump and rail game this winter.

I was leaning towards the 176 because learning would be easier, but i would like to hear some opinions of others

Are you growing? If so, I think the 182. If not 176.

182 for sure, they have tip rocker so they'll ski a bit short!

Short skis are much easier for learning on rails, way lighter and more maneuverable. Long skis will be more stable on jumps and outside of the park. It comes down to personal preference, but you should be fine on either size. I'm 6'1 and I ride 186 in the park/moguls/trees and 191 everywhere else. Have a good season, man!
