Hey newschoolers.
I'm 15, 5' 8'', and 133 pounds. I consider myself an expert skier on the steeps, but I still have a lot to learn in the park. I'm about to order line masterminds that I will center mount and ski 90% park with. I love hitting rails but I also do some small-medium jumps. Just to make sure, are the 167s a good length for me? Keep in mind I might grow another few cm.

Im 5'6" and i ride 171's. Id personally recommend 177's, sure theyre a little bigger so it will be a tad harder to spin than the 167's would be but keep in mind the mastermind is a pretty damn light ski and the longer size is well worth it in the long run

Go with the 177 for sure. Your gonna grow and if your an expert then this will be perfect for you, remember the true length might come out a little shorter than 177 so these should be a good fit for you
