I'm looking to get the bridge in 169 and i'm wondering how Volkl is about their sizing.
Is there stated size the same as the actual ski size?

Thanks and +k!

whats your height weight age and skier ability? my 177's measure shorter than my 176 armadas, but if u r looking at this years bridges, keep in mind they will ski shorter because of the rocker to them, so u might want to consider the 179's

the measure the length of the ski while entirely flat. so once they create the camber and tips/tails they end up measuring (directly tip to tail) a few centimeters shorter.

yes without question go to the bigger size, but u said size 169, this years came in a 171, then 179, so r u talking about previous years bridges? either way get the bigger size, either 177 or 179
