I have 146's this year from 2 years ago and i grew. they used to fit me but now i am 5 9'. This year i had absolutely no problems spinning (obviously) but i NEED new skis next year, will a switch between a 146 and a 170 throw me off a ton or will i be fine? tips?

Thanks, freeskier22

i think u will get more controled spins to with longer skis.
and u can cruz down the hill in high speed without the skis shaking ure ass off

the difference between spinning and standing still is apparently not so apparent

if you're anything decent i think you'll adjust rather quickly. quicker than you think.

maibe that 1080 will take a bigger jump, but you are way more solid in the air and with more speed.

i find it easier to spin on big skis. because you start getting momentom so you can grab easier once you set your spin. im 5ft 1 and i ski 165

it should take u like 2 or 3 runs to get used to them. and its easier landing on biger stix..they will be way more stable.
