Might be easier, but its all about style. plus a longer ski will be better for all mountain.

Yeah longer ski = better all mountain performance and better on big jumps. Smaller skis are easier if you have to huck your spins to get around...my advice is to just get longer skis and stop being a cry baby and hit a big jump. But thats just me

the 169's will be just fine for you unless you are going off 30+ foot clifs onto under 20* landings then you might crator but i'm your size and i just got 169 seth's



***********************************
Its winter, the birds have all flown south, all but one. One little bird that waited too long. As it flew to catch it's buddies it got icicles on its wings and fell to the ground. The bird then saw a nice looking branch at the top of a nearby tree and it said to a nearby cow, 'I want to reach that top branch but I don’t have then energy to fly up, can you help?' The cow said, 'Here, eat some of my poop it'll fuel you to climb up the tree.' The little bird said, 'Thanks!' and had some of the cow poop. The bird flew up to the first branch of the tree and rested, then the next day flew to the next branch, until finally the bird reached the top branch. Then the farmer came out with a shotgun...

The moral of the story is, bullshit may get you to the top, but it wont keep you there.

bigger ski flows more, it adds a little weight so your spins r smoother and not all light and jerky.

isn't it pointless to buy fujatives if you want all mountain performance anyways, i thought they were pure park ski.

neither 169 or 179 are a long ski for you. small skis are easier, and only pussy fags use them.

^ I'm with you on that, I read big, and thought 200 plus, I have 190's and dont consider them big, and I can still control them fine, they just suck for dodging trees.

just remember that a ski only knows how much you weigh, not how tall you are. Weight can be exempt if you are strong though. I am going to probably ride those 189 Maden's this season and I am 150 or so. Regardless height has nothing to do with it, you could be 6'6 and be skiiny as a twig making 195 too much ski, its all relitive.
