ha, youre six one and thinking of getting 160s!

man, its not 1998 anymore, people use regular length skis. for your height you need atleast a 177, which is the longest length the twelvesixty comes in.

In the 175-185 Range. Because you are 191 lbs. you will need to go for something with a stiff flex. That would mean if you are deadset on buying the Twelvesixty's, that you would need the 177. I still think it is a little short, but should suit you.

It might be too soft, depends on your preference, but atleast the length is right for you with the 177. most people 5'10' and up ride around 180s, give or take a few centimeters.

Theres no point in getting a ski thats too short just because you're coming from a ski thats way too short. you'll get used to the extra 40cm fairly quickly.

ya dude you'll get used to the 177 and it's a softer ski you 'll be able to throw it around no problem. In fact i bet you like the 177 1260 WAYYY better than whatever you where on before
