i'm trying to find some powder skis that i can use this season but im short, 5'3'', so i need some shorter skis and i keep running into skis that are starting at like 175. any ideas on what powder skis would be right?

True but K2 measures short. Their 179 Hellbents are the same length as line's 185 EP Pros so I would imagine their 169 is closer to 175. Good advice though, maybe it's the other way around and line measures long? Either way I've stood in a shop with 179 bents and 185 eps and they were the same length.

ive heard k2 measures skis long but since hellbents have a lot of rocker they ski like a really short ski so a 169 is like your skiing a 130
