I NEED HELP QUICK!

There is a ski sale going on currently at my local mountain and i found a steal of a deal on some scott p3's but im wondering since i have no money are they right for me, the skis are 178's. I am 6 2 175, ski mostly rails and jump on those fine days. I ski park most of the time and ski 6 or 7 days a week so along with the question of will these be a good fit for me, im also looking at will these last a while because im broke and i need skis.

Any help will be much appreciated.

well it depends on how hard you will be riding them. i p3s arent the most durable skis but i definitely think they will last you. also, they are a pretty stiff ski so i think they will be just right for your height and weight.
plus if you change your mind you can just sell them on here

I'm 5'9. 150 pounds, I was riding 178 S3 last year. I took them a bit taller cause of the rocker.

I'm really digging the k2 domain. Should I take 169 or 179 ?  heard their skis fit taller . Thanks for help

i dont know much about the domain, but a 174 revival goes to my eye brows and im 5'9. and since the domain has jib rocker you should probably take the 179

I decided this is clearly unworthy of it's own thread.

As a pretty tall guy, I like long skis. I ride EP Pros but they ski pretty short for my height (6'3"). Does anybody remember that photo of Eric with his EP's the year they came out and they are a good three inches+ taller than him? They come up to my eyebrow now and I want moar ski. I'm thinking of getting 192 Benny's but I would prefer to stick to EP's. It would be sweet if Line made a 190s version of the EP Pro. Anyone else think so?

Tell him you'll pay some now, then save up more after you buy it and pay him back the rest.

I don't know what the big difference is when looking at them from the outside, but the black iridium is a much more quality lens.
