I want to get a pair of 09 volkl walls with griffon binders but what length should I get? I weigh 155 pounds and I am 6 feet tall. Will use for rails and jumps.

Cool thanks, but I can only find 169cm.. Is that big enough? I will hardly ever ride all-mountain as I ski indoors

Oh alright thanks for the input guys.. The 177's are pretty much all sold out though.. What other skis do you think would be good for me as a park rat? I ski in Auckland New Zealand and we have an indoor park because we have no mountain.. It's called snowplanet

nordica ace of spades in a 177, 86 waist, i believe its a 113 tip and tail, has a layer of metal in it so its durable as fuck, and it has a nice medium flex to it.

It's a little older, but basically the same ski.

So there is no difference in the way it rides?

08s were the first year for the walls and there were some issues that a few people had. if you buy the 08s new from a store now, to save money, and they broke, you could probably warranty them and get a pair of 2010's...

To my knowledge, no.
But I have only ridden the 08/09 and the 09/10 Walls. If I were to bet on it though I would say they're the same.

Fully legit store based in wanaka and they ship free in NZ!

You can pick up some 2010 Pipe Cleaners mad cheap ... Will be ideal for snow planet as speed is a common issue and these puppies will help you with the race base ;)

if your spending all your time in the park and price is an issue, pipe cleaners are dope. AR6 ride more like the walls and are my favorite because there sick in the park and pretty much everywhere else on the mountain. only problem is there a little pricy.
