So my friend is about 6ft and weighs 135 very skinny, he is new to freeskiing and he wants the new scratches he is not sure what size to get tho. We ski ALL PARK cuz our mountain has ntohing else to do. Should he get the 174's?

174s should be good. I'm 6 foot and a 180 is better for me, but I'm also 175 lbs.

word, or the 185 giving them extra room, your friend is mad skinny and should put on some weight as well, 135 for a 6' kid is ridiculous

yo the poor kid is a string bean and just startin in the park and you wanna put him on 181s? that's not even nice, peeps on here are used to being/dealing with for the most part experienced skiers in which case you generally want as long as you can get away with, but if he like hasn't even learned 3s and stuff yet he might like some "shorter" skis, and 174s still wont be all that short. And assuming the skis last like two seasons by the time he needs new one's he'll have two years of park under his belt and will be ready to get some bigger sticks. for now he doesn't really need 181s

dude, if he is leaning how to ski, 174 is fine... 181 for a beginner would be torture.
