50% fun park, 20% rail 20% pipe, rest off pist and stuff.

I am going to buy a new pair fo twin tip skis soon, but I am unsecure about the size.
I am 5'11'' / 6'. I have just heard rumors that it is a good thing to have skis which is a little shorter than yourself. Give me your oponions!

thanks in advance!

For what you described I think about 168-178ish is perfect for park and what you described. If you want more of an all mountain ski I would go with a 178 minimum and up. Also the better the skier the longer the ski generally, so if you are a beginner go with a shorter ski for sure.

Mount in the middle, and then pick a pair of skis that are as high as you up to 4 - 5 cm taller than you, currently i have skis as high as myself.
