Typical, I know this guy that works in one, and he's like dude, why are you skis so tall, they're only supposed to go to your nose.

my shop knows their shit to, but i guess they figure that i couldnt handle a ski that tall, i dunno.

they should though, cuz one of them runs the Orage booth at the SIA

do you have a small dick and needed a bigger ski to compensate?

159 for 5'4 is about right, your a little grom, you get little grom skis - like a midget

a few years ago a ski shop guy told me that the skis i was looking at had two tips for better turn initiation.

they were partially correct - a rounded tails alows for easier turn initiation

thats why nearly ALL intermediate skis have rounded tails

I like my skis the same height or slightly less as me so right now I have 182 bc's. Anyways I went into a local shop and I was talkin to the guy what skis he's getting in. And he told me a couple of them. And I was like I'm lookin around for a ski around 174 for my youner bro and he was like what is your bro liek 6 foot 4. I was like dude I ski with 182's and I could go longer. And he was all like short skis are better and plus I'm a spinner, so I like em short. I was like your a moron and I didnt want to argue with such an idiot who I could own on the slopes. So yah dont bother askin them for help unless you know them or if they know their shit.

Ski shops around me are always a ripoff, $400+ for any pair of skis and all they have is crap like salomons and rossi's.
