Hey, i'm 6'1 1/2 and about 175 pounds. I'm looking for pretty much a 100 percent park ski. Price isn't a huge issue... i'm working extra hours over the summer so i'm going to buy basically whatever i want.

Thanks!

Yeah, thats actually a good Idea. Or, better yet, you should buy them from japanada, and ship them to me. Ill test them out for you for this season, and tell you what I think, you know, just to make sure they arent poisoned or anything.

hardyharhar, that made me chuckle, or you could buy them from me, then ride em for a season, then send em back to me, and ill give you 1/2 of the purchase price back!

185 seems a little big, I currently ride a 177 and they feel good.

I was on 158's (when I was 5'4) and went to a 176 (still i was 5'4) and I noticed little difference. At 6'1, I think something low to mid 180's would be best, especially a centre mounted 185 ArV....
