So for my summer set up i'm not going to using my 171 liberty skis but all i have left is my Dynastars which are i think 150 or 145ish.  So my question is are my dynastars to small???

well it's not like you won't be able to ski because your skis are too short, it'll just be easier

personally i think it would look dumb, but i like longer skis, and since it's a summer set up i don't think it really matters

so it would be logical to keep your good skis in nice condition and use your old ones in the summer

its not like any haters would be watching. i use my old skis on summer setups to keep my 1st stringers in good condition even though my old ones are shorter. summer setups tend to be sketchier than snow setups so its no crime to use shorter skis

short skis can be a lot of fun. Its easier to spin on and off and do switch ups. I've used 91 cm blades on my summer setup and its really fun...so it doesn't really matter.

yea man, i have the same problem. i have 160 Rossignol S3 Pommiers and my old skis are 148 Atomic C-Series Racing, i can still hit rails and land switch, it's just a lot harder.
