I am thinking about buying a pair of 171 Solomon 2012s for next season. I am 5' 7", and weigh 130 pounds. I ski 90% park and 10% everything else. Do you think the 171s are too short? I know the are rocketed slightly, but I don't really know how much that affects sizing. Thanks

Sounds like the perfect size for you. They are a very fun ski and the rocker isn't that big so it doesn't affect the running length that much.

Wow, those skis are incredibly short for you.

I am 6'0" and have 181 park skis, and because they are rockered you want them longer than a normal ski.
