I’m looking to get a pair of line vision 108’s as my first touring setup with a set of salamon shift 13’s. I’m 5’9 and I’m wondering if I should go for the 155cm or 163cm. If anyone’s skiid them before what would you recommend?
thanks

Depends how strong of a skier you are, and what/how you are intending to ski in the backcountry. What length of skis are you riding now?

I am very light as well 65kg
I wanna use the vision for freestyle free ride as well as being able to charge occasionally

I’m 5’10 150 pounds have 183 with shifts. Would not want shorter but I’m also not spinning or flipping. They feel great on landings, drivin in pow, carving on weird snow. You’ll want a decent boot with a good fit to drive em tho. The zero g tour pro fits my foot and feels like enough boot. I also take them in the resort for uphill laps in the morning and then really like the length. If you are mostly throwing tricks and skiing slow I could see the shorter length could be cool but I don’t know much about either of those things ;)

Thats a tough one cause either size would work for you. If you are going to be in the trees alot and spinning flipping everything I would say 175 will be nice for the agility. If you are going to be riding more open terrain,value stability at speed then 183.

But really you can make either size work.
