yeah, i was thinking 175-179. I have public enemies that are 169, but i know i need something longer. any suggestions on the type of ski would be awesome. i'd say i'm 65.34% Park and 44.66% All Mountain. Those numbers are rounded down to the nearest tenth.

^^Then you ski 110% of the time...

Anyway, it is all preference. Do you like your skis stiffer or softer? I always recommend karmas because they are a great ski. Check out the 177 Karma, maybe the AR6 also. I barely ever ski park, so I'm only able to offer limitted help.

A lot of it these days is personal preference. i prefer a long, soft, wide ski. I would consider ARVs for you, based on my personal preference, but what type of ski do you like? Soft/stiff, long/short, wider/skinnier?

haha, yea my math sucks, that's why i'm an english major, and business, but who needs numbers, eh?

anyways. i already have 169 PE's, but i want to go with something a little longer and maybe a little softer as well. i don't want it to be too park specific. let me know what you guys think, thanks.
