What's up newschoolers I'm 6 foot and looking to get a new pair of skis to replace my 166 line afterbangs '10. So a friend of mine got 2012 vokkl ledges used them twice and quit. So he wanted to sell them so he agreed to sell them with new marker griffons for $140 this is a no brainer besides the fact that there 162s and I'm 6 foot and 155 lbs what should I do? Buy them? I likely won't be able to buy a new pair until after the season so what do you guys think

They are quite small, but you might as well buy them. If you ski them once and absolutely hate them, sell them, youll make money.

its a good deal, but those skis are soft as shit.

i'm 5'9" 160 lbs and i rode 176 ledges for half a season. i ended up getting rid of them cuz they were just way to noodly for me.

162s will be way too small for you, but for $140 you can't really go wrong.

Any skis you'd recommend I'm thinking line chronics or Armada alpha 1s or halos but I'm up for suggestions

Those all are really good choices, you really wouldnt go wrong with any of them. If your lookinh outside the box, Id suggest nordica ace of spades. Stiff underfoot, soft in the tips and tails. Really durable ski also that is really difficult to chip. All of your choices will feel very different coming from a small, soft ski.

Your 6ft and 155 lbs. Get a ski at least 170. Even for park I would never go shorter then 10 cm less than my height.

And for some cheap park skis here are some links. These seem to be in your price range.

^none of these skis are fully symmetrical so just letting you know.

no don't buy those. I'm 5'8 and I don't use 166's so those skis you're looking at are easily 10-13cm to small for you.
