You won't die on them, you could go 174 if you wanted. It's nothing pressing.

Anyways, what are your %'s for skiing, like 75%park 25%glades...That would be nice to have too.

For a ski like the Prophet 100's...I am 5'11" 180, I ski Chronics in 177 for park and just generally around the mountain...mogul skis at 185...should I go with a 179 in the 100 or the 189....how will the extra length effect quickness in the trees?

Thanks

I'm 6'3" and I'm interested in buying the Public Enemy (05/06) with the length 179 cm (5'9"). With this length the skies will be at the same length as my nose is.
Is this something I should go for?

My budy is 6'3" and he likes a 182...I think with the prophets I would go to the 189 so I can rip down the mountain as super high speeds...the 177 seems to slow me down a litte
