Hey, I'm going to be buying some new skis this winter, but I'm not sure on the size;
I am a solid all around skier, and pretty good at park, although I suck at jumps. Anyway Ill be doing very many rails. I am also 5'9 and 135lbs.
I'm interested in the mastermind (I know they suck, but I like buttery, light skis) and the biggest size those come in is 177. Now should I get bigger different skis, like 182's or something. Or will I be good with the 177's?

if you like a buttery ski think about 182 line anthem. I think its called the traveling circus ski this year. Super buttery and a good size if you like to aggro. I'm 5' 8" and ride the 172 for park.

It all depends on what you want to do. I like a bit shorter 70-75 for rails which is mostly what I do. If you spend more time jumping 75+ will be good. 77 for me personally would be a bit long.

Other buttery skis to try that would be good in that length (77):
