Ive been looking at new skis and I am pretty set on getting this years bdogs, i am 5'7 138 and was wondering if 165cm is a good size, i want something where I could just butter everywhere in the park and get creative, but also fun all over the mountain in most conditions, i was also looking at the edollos in 168cm because i like the wider base but idk I feel they would have a little to much weight, I just feel like the bdogs would be a little lighter & more towards what i want. Opinions????
id recommend the 172, especially if youre still growing or gaining weight. 165 is pretty small if youre already 170cm tall, plus a longer ski will benefit you for balance and charging in the long run.
I'm same height minus 5-10 pounds and find a 168 rockered park ski to be short now. Id preferably go to a 172-175. You'll want slightly extra length for a soft rockered ski so a 172 Bdog would be right up you're alley. Weight isn't a super huge issue for me, if you're buttering around a lot it shouldn't be a problem
I'm 5'11" and just picked up the new b dogs in a 179, you'll notice a difference at first, but would def not go shorter than a 172 especially if you have any chance of growing

thanks guys ill most likely be going with the 172s, and quick question. Do the bdogs have a nice amount of early rise like how do you think they would do for tree riding in small pow i know it has a 90mm base, I also plan to go out west and im only bringing this ski so im just curious. Ill be riding in the park most of the time though
