yeah i think he's like 5'6" or something, so 171 or 176 would do the trick

He's only 5'6 and he skis 171 Thrusters all most always, sometimes dumonts. I think that he skis 176 dunmonts though.

NO!  ANCIENT NS LORE STATES THAT HE WHO IS GREATER THAN FIVE FT. IN HEIGHT MUST AUTOMATICALLY SEEK OUT THE LARGEST SKI IN ANY GIVEN MAKE OR MODEL!

Well nobody really "cares" like it's vital. He probably made this thread because he learned that, was surprised and wanted to know if this is normal, because he wanted to know what others like and also to be sure that sammy really skis on 171s. Don't you agree that pros use the stuff they like best and fits them most, and since they have more experience on skiing there might be a reason why they have such preferance? I think it's important to look at what they like and prefer to keep up to date with what is better for you
