last weekend i broke both my skis and bindings (salomon crap) during a competition :(
so now i need some new skis and bindings fast.. I am currently deciding between:
mainly
176 mik d pro or 183 stl
but I can also pick up some
07 Invaders and 07 Trouble Makers
..I really want the mik d's, but they only come in 176,
and im 181 cms 68 kgs
(5'11 150 lbs i think) so..are they too short?
I only care about the performance in the park.. what would you suggest?
Thanks for fast answers

it all depends on how agressive you ski and if you like a stiff ski. i personally would go with the 183 stl since you sound like a fairly big guy. the extra stability will be worth the slightly increased swing weight.

i meant they wouldnt be to small, especially if they are for park they are almost 6 ft tall

i'd definintely get the 176 mik d. The 176 should also fit you very nicely.

ninthwards for sure, if you think the mik d is a little short buy the 180 butters. which ever you 9thward you choose you won't be disappointed.
