Better for park?

whats better for park, longer or shorter skis? cause with short skis you can spin faster but then you have no tail to land on. long skis are heavier and slower spinning but when you land you can land with more surface area for stability. whats your opinion?

I like my skis just a little shorter than i am. Its all personal preference though man, there are many threads discussing this already and thats the only conclusion that could be reached.

yes personnal preference is key here but i prefer a larger ski like above my head. I dont notice the easier spinning with shorter skis compared to mine and you do notice the stability of longer skis

yeah there are a ton of threads on this, but like everyone said already personal preference. right now i ride skis that are like midforehead- eyebrows on me, but i do mostly rails and jibs and not to much jumping...
