Hey guys,
I'm 5'6", 110 lbs. I've been looking at a new pair of skis, and the Foil caught my eye as a nice all around ski. I've been riding 150's, and was wondering if I should switch sizes. I ski almost equally between powder, park etc., an regular trails. What size should I get?

Thanks for the insight guys.
But...
Would it be okay to center mount foils? I'd like them to be stable on spins and rails but not dive under the powder. What do you guys think?

Soo.... just mount them at the standard position? will that still be balanced on rails and spins?
