So yea, i'm 5'8'' , might grow another inch over the off season, i'm 135 pounds, my 171 1080s are a little short at the moment, and i'm looking at new skis next year. I want to go with Line and i was thinking the 1260. I live on a small east coast hill, i spend a lot of time in park and pipe, but i am also a fairly agressive skier out of the park, but usually only on groomed. Would a size 182 be too much ski to handle? would i have to step down to a 177?

I'm a lot bigger than you and ride a 182 and think its perfect for me. I'm not that aggressive of a skier and I ride in Michigan if that makes a difference. I wouldn't mind riding some 176 mojos though.

i think 172-175 would be perfect, but 177 will be ok if ur still growing

yeah, i'm 5 7 and am on 178s right now, but they're pretty massive for me.
Just give me a scene where the music is free and the beer is not the life of the party.

if your screen resolution is the same as mine 5 cm is about this long

so just get the 182's because that's a pretty small difference and you'll be fine either way

Yo, like get log skis, they will help you with speed, and rail, but they will be harder to spin with, but the advantages out weigh the down-sides. So go long no matter what people say.
Peace.

i'm 5'9' and i'm going to ride the 182 motherships next year but i'm more of a powderhound over a park rider. i think the 177 would be a good lenght for you
