Hey hows it going?
I am planning to get K2 Revival 2011 skis!
I am considering two different sizes: 169 or 174.
Last season I used a pair of Elan Slingshot 2012 166cm with jib rocker too, they felt ok, but I would like to go longer!

I am an advanced all mountain skier
Starting to get into the park - begginer.

I am 5 10 (178cm), and I weight 70kg!

I would really like to get more into park this next season, definetely goin to spend more time in the park. I am goin to ski all mtn too, but I am really interested in improving in the park.

And also... I dont have any idea of which bindings to get for these skis. They are 90mm underfoot... which bindings would u reccomend? Coreupt (Look) 12 bindings 100mm are sold on levelninespots at 139... those will do?

Thanks a lot!
Peaceee

if you are 5'10 and a solid skier you might want to consider the 179. They will be more stable and with the rocker should still be manageable. i dont know where or how you ski though. they will be a little harder to spin but personal i like the extra length for stability when going fast

I'm 5'8 and have 174s, they measure more like 178 or 179. I'd get 174 if I were you

174... I'd go for 179 but you're beginner park skier so 174 should be fine for the first year

I'm 5'9"  mounted my 179s 1cm back of center with my old rossi axial bindings.  They're super playful at that length, but the rocker almost makes them feel as short as snowlerblades.  They kid a little unstable on high speed groomers due to the rocker lift, which I don't think going longer will alleviate very much.  the length was fine for bump lines.  I have yet to try them in the park, as I bought them after the park closed last year.

At 5'10", I'd strongly recommend 179, unless all you're doing is jibs.
