I have been lookin for some new skis but can barely find any that are the right size for me. Publics are either too short or long, 1260s are a tad long and im getting really frustrated. Advice Please...

The next time you ask someone how their day is going, expect, no, DEMAND a response. Don't settle for good. Demand the truth. Make them admit that they're having a shitty day, and then do your best to make it worse.


But of course, like all great plans, this one has its hitches. I know there are going to be some bleeding heart sissies that are going to think it's wrong to launch old people into the sun. But don't worry, I've got a plan to deal with them too.

Which means the entire length of the ski that will be in contact with the snow. The Twins will make it 3 cm more. Good to know.

K2 is one of the few companies that measures the actual running length of the ski. For example, when Armada says the ar5 is 176 cm, they mean the whole ski. But K2 advertises the running length of the ski, which means the whole ski is about 3 cm longer than stated

thats actually a bad idea cuz not all companies do that, yes 3 cm is small, but u dont wanna end up getting skis practically the same size, so they should all be measure the same in my opnion
