i m 5'11
alright so last season i rode mike nick 171's all season, and by the end of the year they were completely beat to shit... SO, at the end of the season, i got my money together and got 169 public enemies because i had been wanting them , and i figured id use them for next year (this season) or more.

BAD MOVE... i basically was thinking of a replacement ski, rather than one i can grow into, and now i am in need of 180 cm long ski, and i have these 169 semi-delam'ed skis sitting in my room

i am tempted to un-mount them and sell them on e-bay and get 180's that i will be happy with.


what should i do?

yea the k2 measuring system is weird and the skis actually come out around to 173cm so it shouldnt be bad.
