I just got a pair of 06-07 Line profit 80 they are 176.  I am 6ft tall and weigh 190lbs I have been skiing for a long time about 15 years but it has been on straight skis like 190+.  These are my first true pair of shaped skis and I ski about 70% all mountain and 30% park but I am looking to go in the park a little more.  What do you guys think of my choice.

you are like me only i weight about 150lbs so like 40 less than you. im 6'0 too on a good day and im on the 177 volkl walls. i was tihnking about ggetting the 185s but frankly i never hit boxes/rails just kickers and i like jhibb stuff all mtn so i think i made the right choice (did i to those of you reading this?) and since your hittin the mtn on the same %age as me 70-30 i say the 176s are just fine since they are about nose level am i right?

for ill bill the 176s are a little short for your height and weight and how much all mountain you want to ski

Thanks guys.  They hit me at about the top of my nose.  Yeah i was worried about the height for the amount of all mountain skiing i do but i want to transition into the park more.

I'd say they're a bit short.
