I truly apologize to post another ski length thread. So basically I have decided to buy myself a set JJs for this season. I am 16 and 6'2 (188cm) and I don't know which length I should buy. I prefer a shorter a ski especially when they are 116 underfoot but I still think 175 is to short. Any suggestions on which length I should decide on, 175 or 185?

I’m small, 5’5” and I’m done growing. I ride a 175 JJ. They ski so short, zero chance I’d get the smaller size at your height.

I'm 10cm shorter than you and ride the 185 JJ Zero. You're probably fine.

NS gets carried away with ski length, telling everyone to size up always

but JJs ski so crazy short you should definitely get the 185s in this case unless you are a complete noob and even then i don't think i'd recommend the 175s
