I am gonna order some 333 skis and i was thinking of just downsizing the line ep pro since i don't need skis that are 127mm underfoot and i need a ski that is a shorter than 185 since i'm not that tall. my thoughts were making it 174 cm long. 140-115-140 with some symetrical rockerand early taper in the tip and tail. fairly soft since stiff skis aren't my style. what do you think of this design?

please give feedback.

gonna be similar to the volkl chopstick probably, that's the only ski i could think of that would be similar

i'm still not sold on symmetrical pow sticks but some people love them

the line website has most of the specs. the only things  it doesn't have are the length of the early rise and early taper.

Tell Michael that, and he can probably work it out for you.  Sam dimensions/everything.

And I don't think symmetrical skis are a good idea in the first place(but I do know some ski well) but are extra pointless in powder.  Take about 6mm off the tail and mount a bit back.

yep sometimes the wider the tail you go the more it hooks in pow, unless you're riding switch more than half of the time in pow, go for something that's not symmetrical
