for 50/50 go core center, very balanced and since they're rockered it should be in the center of the part of the ski that touches the ground under pressure.

oh awesome thank you, however do you know if I should get the 174 or 179? I am 176 (5.9") and I am 15 so still growing. Ability, intermediate to advanced.

I would get 174 if you're gonna get new skis in a year. If you want to have these Revivals for many seasons, go longer.

K2 skis are usually a few cm longer than what's stated.

174 is about 177 in actuality, while 179 is more like 182. I'd go with the 174 unless you're planning one growing A LOT (like to 6+ feet).

well yeah I am only 15 after all and have been told that im gonna reach about 188 in two years or so so Im thinking about the 179, however though I hear that due to the rocker there is a shorter surface area touching the snow...

im 5 9 but only 150 ibs and i just got the 174 revivals. They match up perfectly to the last skis i had (which were 181's). I would not get the 179 revivals unless your really going to grow, and if you like to hit rails don't even think about getting the 179. sick ski btw.

One thing to consider is that the slight rocker on them will make them feel a bit shorter on the snow. In the air and on rails they of course won't feel any shorter.
