Hey All, Im looking into getting a pair of coreupt tj's and am stuck between 173s and 183s.
Info:
5'7 in height.
165 Lbs
Intermediate park rider. also will use for icy days.

Ive heard they ski way shorter cause of the tails and tips. Which would be better for me?

Hmm.. given your height I would say 173 but given your weight I would say 183.. What were you riding before?

i'd go 173 cm for you ....
the actual running surface is indeed quite short, but on the other hand the ski itself is quite stiff so i'm quite sure it'll still support you nicely ....

I am 5'10 155 and got the 173s...I have a 188 BH monarch which has 2 speeds, stopped or 100mph (haha)...I wouldn't get the 18X but thats just my preference..By the way they are sick, hit my summer setup with ice rink shavings yesterday..can't wait to make some real turns with them tho
