this, is gonna sound corny, but i bought the Seth skis from like 2 seasons ago and before i bought them i actually sent him a myspace message (yes, myspace) to ask about the size i should get.  im 6'3" over 300 lbs and i picked up the 179cm...  but this was two years ago.

no one has asked where u plan on skiing with these. if you are on the east go 169. west go 179.


im 6'1.5'' 185lbs and have the 179s because i ski the east...if i was out west more than once a year i would have gotten the 189s no doubt.

dont forget the 169s really measure a 175cm and the 179s measure 185cm. (this is fact!)
