179 is the longest length it will be offered in next season which is odd IMO. I am 5'7" and I rode the 179 and loved it as well. I feel sorry for the big park guys out there though...

I think all three lengths are 165, 171, 179...

they come in a 163, not a 165*


Off jumps they are a lot of fun. really easy to set a spin and really forgiving when you dont land perfect. No comment on the edges or there durability though.

The only concern i have is when the edge become dull from rails, how will the rockered ski handle?

yep, i rode them too. im 5 foot 6ish and 115 pounds and rode the 179 and it felt perfect. im defiantly getting some next year, but i was curious how salomons durability would hold up for me and i wanted to try it out myself, and since my ar6s are in bad condition, i just bought some suspects to ride for the rest of this year and just exchange them for some 2012's next year.
