so i have 171 t-hall's. i also have 155 afterbangs. iI dont know if i should sell the afterbangs, and just ride the t-halls.

Im 5'5 so im 166 cm tall. Im also around 130-135 pounds. should i just keep the afterbangs and ski them until i grow into the t-hall's? or man up and ride the t-hall's?

+K for help

Definitely go with the t halls. Might be just a bit long at first but after a few days you'll be used to them.

Go with the T-Halls, they are light so you shouldn't have trouble spinning them and I would say a 155 a-bang is short for you anyway.

go with the t-halls for sure, 155cm is for like 5 year olds lol

Pros

Longer skis go faster

landing on longer skis is alot more stable

Cons

Harder to turn skis

harder to spin in air

id go with the t-halls. short skis look kinda stupid. bigger skis look steezy especially when grabbing
