i bought my armada 181 el rays 2 years ago when i was 5'8 thinking i would keep the skis and use them for 2-3 years and they would still be fine when im taller..........so 2 years later here i am 1 inch shorter 5'7 and it just feels like the 181 el rays and salomon z10 bindings and just a little heavy on rails.

Should i just get a smaller ski or do any ski models offer a light weight ski or bindings?

you shrunk? bummer.

If you want a stiff lightweight ski JO Pros are dope, if you want a soft lightweight ski Invaders are probably top of that skis.

I happen to have a pair of 169 JO Pros for sale for pretty cheap - PM me if you're interested.

You can go shorter, but you really can't get too much lighter than that. Is this a serious thread?
