I KNOW everyone makes this thread but im still torn on it. I am a fairly agressive park skier 16 years of age, 5'8 185 lbs and looking to get the wet to really just swerve around. 177 or 183? I know the skis are super rockered so im not sure if 177 will be too unstable, or if 183 will be too hard on rails. Also, any recommended bindings for wets? (I was thinking pivots, im not tooo conserned on weight of binding).

Ik everyone makes this thread, ive been searching around just cant get a response, thanks guys!

If you know why did you make a thread? I honestly would bet money there is a thread with another 5’8 or whatever dude with a similar profile to you asking the exact same thing. You totally could have found an answer to this through looking through Vishnu threads.

I'm 15 year old 5'10 190 lbs i ski a pair of 177 wets and they are the most fun ski. You can still handle them in tight turns but they are a little sketchy at higher speeds. I'm planning on getting 183s next year but i would go with 177s. Get pivots if you can get a good deal on them other than that i would recommend marker griffons.
