I have been looking to get a new pair of skis, but I haven't bought some in a while.

I'm a little under 6' 1" and somewhere between 135-140 Lbs. What would be a good size?

I'd go 179 for park and 185 or so for everything else. If you want an all aroudn get some 182 chop sticks...my buddy pat rides those and he's 6'2ish and he loves them.

I'm 6, 185, and 178s work great for me. It's all about preference. Do you like a longer or shorter skis is what you should be asking yourself.
