tdollonah i'd go for the 189s
tdollobut for real 177cm is too long, you'll find them hard to maneuver. I'd look elsewhere for a ski in a smaller size, something like 163cm
swag_chicThat’s what I would rather have but like what else is there that’s super buttery. I’m looking at Chronics but I have horrible experiences with Line and their quality. Please give me ideas
isaacwrongwhat's op's skier ability/type? personally would go with around 170-172
swag_chiclonger skis are becoming more “in” I’m 5’2”, would 177 wets be too long. For reference I ride 155s and they come to about eye level, thoughts?
swag_chicI’ve been skiing since I was 2 or 3 and I started park skiing last year. I can hit most rails and do rotations like 360s and 2s off but I’m still quite a beginner park skier
@LANTASKIalso, Park skiing is dying. Take your ability to launch rotations to the rest of the mountain my queen
CyanicenineI think they probably would be too long. I'm 5'2 also and the only skis I ride that long are powder skis (I've got some 177 v-werks katanas), but I wouldn't want to ride that length in the park. 170 is the longest I'll ride in the park. It's really too bad rossignol stopped making the Slat, because that ski is an awesome buttery park ski and it came in a 168. I am dreading the day mine break. I don't know if the new line blends are as noodley as the old ones but those came in a 170 and would be a decent pick.
swag_chicWe need a brand like Vishnu that makes shorter skis for us shorties lmao

sarcYou are 157.5 cm tall. 177 would be perfect for a heli trip to Valdez.
Skis with a lot of rocker feel short, so on3p would probably work ok for you in park at about 165-170 but spin a little slow. Chronics have less rocker, so maybe 160 ish.
But you could make any of them work. Longer will mach better, shorter spin. Weight and strength also affect it. Girls tend to have a better power to weight ratio believe it or not. And if you're 250 lbs you may need the 177s.
I personally think your 155s are about right.
swag_chicOkay thank youuuu! My 155s are good for me right now bc I ski on a tiny hill in the Midwest but I’m heading to utah or colorado soon so I’m looking for an upgrade

freestyler540Im 6’2” 170lbs, 172cm park, 188 backcountry, 178 all mountain. Lol I own 1.076m of skis.
I chose short skis in park to reduce weight. Spinning is easy on short skis. Landings are expected to be a death metal solo impression on big jumps.
Longer skis in pow is necessary for better floatation. They feel snappier in the deep stuff, best I found was 188cm and 99mm underfoot for my size.

CyanicenineWe do! I looked into Vishnus as well cause I thought they would be an awesome spring slush ski, but I ultimately decided 177 was too long to play in the park with.
ColoradoDogfartbruh fr just be taller its legit not that hard smh
switchlip2ur a pussy
twinkle_toesIm 5'4" and ride 170s. :)
Itd probably be easier to learn rails and spins on shorter skis but i dont wanna comprimise my stability at higher speeds and would rather a ski that can stomp a big landing confidently rather than be agile and manueverable on rails...
Depends on what u wanna ride tho ! Like sometimes 170s feel a bit too long when i need to turn in a tight spot
JemsI ride dead center 180's man you're honestly risking injury with skis that short
eheathyou really need to stop caring about what other people choose to use, shit on pro skiers whatever but some casual 20-30 year old skiing park for fun who fucking cares dude? lighten up.
Jemsbro you’re the only one who really cares what i think and that’s clown
eheathim the only one with stones to tell you that you're being wack, like I said just lighten up.
Jemsu should lighten up cause you’re too heavy
eheathMeh, would've been funnier if it wasn't a completely unoriginal joke.
