I ski 174 scratch fs right now. I wanna get some public enemies but 179 seems like it would be feel big if I'm used to the scratch 174. what do you guys think, 179 cm would be no prob? i'm 5'8' 150

go big if your tuff, but considering your weight, a 169 would work, especially since the public is a lot heavier than the scratch

kjfreeskier or whatever. its 8 cuz k2 measures the running surface of the ski. not the actual ski. so a 179 pistols or PE is actually a 182. believe me. ive measured my pistols.
