im in need of a new ski, and im leaning towards ninthward. would 180 butters or mik ds be better for 80% park?
Im 5'11-6' 150 if that matters.
And, would mik ds look short on me?

hell no dude...elans skis are insanely stiff, but yea ninthwards are really nice but expensive so if u have the cash go for it but if not look at either k2 or 4frnts(which are also xpensive) go with 2 they rule all

umm i have skied the miks for a season and loved them, i am around 5 8 tho so a little shorter.. youd like that ski tho, if you want to go a little longer the butters are basically just as good

agreed, ur 20% ride will be satisfied, but I have them and theyre quite heavy and stiff, so if ur weak or light, its going to be hard to adjust. Im 150, got the 175. when I get on 1080 or something, I smack my face on the ground while doing butters
