Hey NS. It's a pleasure to meet all of you. I've been lurking around for the past few weeks and from what I've seen, most of you are very clever and funny!
Anyways, I'll get to the point:
I recently turned 16, I'm 5' 6/7", about 105 pounds without gear on, a type III all mountain skier on the West coast, and I'm a beginner/intermediate to park skiing. I've taken a proper 3 day camp at Mammoth to get down the fundamentals of park skiing, so I wouldn't consider myself a 'gaper'. *shudder*. I plan on dedicating the whole upcoming season to park skiing and working out to be in top physical condition. I purchased the 176 cm Alpha-1 but do not plan on mounting it until very late in the season and have the confidence to say that I am an advanced park skier. Was this a good choice or should I have gotten the 170's instead? I'm not going to buy another ski for about 2 years, so that gives me plenty of time to grow into them.
Thank you very much for reading my post! If there's anything else about me that I have left out that would assist in proper ski sizing, please do not hesitate to ask.
