I'm looking at getting a set of the 2021 line honey badgers and I am wondering which length to get. I am 5'4 130lb and am stuck between 155s or 166s. I am an intermediate to advanced all mountain skier but am new to park stuff. Any helps would be greatly appreciated.

they should be at LEAST triple your height, I'm like 175cm and ski a 550cm, kinda hard to get on the chair but you best believe I got the most swag out there

Was about to say the same thing! Tough to find but ideally you want your skis long enough to have the tails still on the “stop here” line at the bottom of the chair when your tips are just hitting the top of the lift. It’s less about skier height and more about lift length.

Not sure which mountain you’re cruising but I’d say you’re looking for something that’s a solid 550’ if possible, pretty sure Elan makes a pair.
