Hello, I'm a advanced intermediate park skier and I was wonder what size twins I should get. I'm 6'3 and 150 lbs..  I do mostly rails,boxes, and small to medium jumps.   Say for the K2 Domains would I want the 179 cm size?  Or say for the Atomic Punx would I want the 173cm or the 182?   What would be a good length for me? Thanks

I'm 5'8 and i ride a 171. You will defiantly need a longer ski just for that stability and balance for your size. Guy above me has the right idea for size!

Thanks!, any more ideas?

BTW would a 182 cm ski be to hard to swing onto rails, jumps etc.. with?

They will be perfect, I'm around 5'11 and the 182 are a blast.

K2 measures short a 179 domain is about 182/183 actual length but it has rocker so it feels shorter. My bet is a 182 punx will feel lighter than a 179 domain.

I'm 6'1 195 and the 182 Punx have been awesome for me. They feel pretty light and do everything I want them to. I even went and did a little all-mountain today on em and they were better than expected.

Thanks for the info!  But does Atomic measure right? So would the Punx and Domains be just about the same length (182ish)??
