i'm thinking about trading my chetlers for some ll2's. going from a 183 to a 179. my problem is i'm only 5'2 and i struggle with my chetlers. i'm worried these won't be light enough for me to ski. i don't have a problem with length as much as i have a problem with not being able to spin these big skis like i want to. should i wait or will these ll2's work for me. i'm only 115 pounds btw.

I am not sure about the LL2 but I know that the nine life and the watch lifes are both very light so I would imagine that this ski is aswell.

i have heard that ll2's or one lifes are super light, dont quote me on this as i havent skied them. off topic question to the op, did you find it hard riding chetlers? cuz i am super short like you but would like a pow ski. also what would you consider your ability level.

but at your size, why get such a long ski? 169 bents or 171 on3p caylors seem like a much better option

yeah dude thats what i'm thinking. i really want something that will float but that i can still throw around super good. cuz i love to spin and flip but it's a lot to get around. i really need to test ride the bents. cuz i've heard everything from they are great to they are absolutely horrible. and isn't on3p way behind on the caylors? i want those soooo bad. haha.

a rockered ski yes, but 171 caylors are really a 174 so it kinda of evens out

I absolutely love my LL2's. I use them for everything including park. They are magical at rails. Super light. I have the 179 and I'm 6'1" at 160 and i dont struggle with them at all with them mounted at -2cm you cant go wrong. Super fast, and you can carve the shit out anything with the magical powers that the Live Life2's have. By far my most favorite ski. BUt durability of the topsheet isnt the best but thats cause I use mine in the park allmost everyday.
