OMG! Loving the icon.


Personally, I think you could get a better ski for a couple bucks more.

that's a pretty awesome deal.
159 seems a little short though, are you sure that's going to be big enough?

what exactly are the pros and cons or going longer or shorter?
is it just stability will be better if i get longer and less control?

longer skis are better for going faster, and you wont be able to grow out of them,but if your getting this good of a deal i guess you can do what you want by all means.  shorter skis kinda look awkward on people but do whatver/

Shorter skis are easier to maneuver, but I'm 5'10" and I just ordered 178 Larose's. Just go check out Backcountry and Evo.

i find,
short skis are better to learn on.
it gives you the motion and stuff.
Like im borrowing my friends el ray's 185's since he got new skis.
for the past three months i started "freeskiing" i used 161 line invaders.
Alot better for learning.
(and btw im 5'10 and 180 pounds)
