Did this require a new thread?

Anyways... I hope you're not looking at the RRP's being a "mad good deal" 'cause there's a $250 sale coming up.

What do you mean "would it feel weird"? To buy the ski at the sale?

i think he means is he big enough to handle the ski?

im headin west next year so i need to get some pow sticks, preferably cheap. so this is a good deal but the problem is, im only 5'7" 125, so i think the 187 is way too much for me. i ride 169 fujis now and there plenty big for all mountain/park

i think he's trying to askif the longer length would feel wierd
it depends on the weght of the ski and the strength of your turns
so it might feel diff if you jump up 20 cms

179 MR's should be okay. I'm not sure about 187 Districts though... how many cm is 5'10?

I'm not really the expert on skis... I just know how to suit myself haha

^ Yea, I agree 166  to 187 is big... but 179 MR's should be OK.
A season back I went from 150 to 165... took me a full daay to get back to normal. You'll be okay on 179's.
