Hi

I'm 5"5 and 165 Pounds. I ski 80 % park 50 / 50 rails / Jumps. Ski'd last season on 173 Punx.

Has anyone ski'd on the punx and the filthy riches?? if so what are your thoughts on comparing the two?

I'm leaning towards getting the FR....Should I go for 171 or 176? With the Rockered tips and tails I'm wondering whether I need to go a bit longer... What is everyone's thoughts?

Also with the Rocker in mind, will these skis still have good pop for ollies etc compared to a traditional camber ski? how do the skis deal with the groomers??

Any info Would be hugely appreciated especially on the FR's!!

If I were you I'd go with the 176. I haven't skied the punx unfortunately, but with the rockered tips and tails the 176 will be nice. Even with the rocker they still pop better than most skis. And groomers on the are super fun. You lean into your turns more which takes just a bit of getting used to, but it's worth it. BUY THE 176 FR

Thanks for feedback! I'm hearing a lot of good things about the FR's Im just a little sceptical about the rocker... Don't want them flapping around at all.......... think I am going to have to bite the bullet and get them!

Over a year of riding them at pretty high speeds I didn't notice any chatter.
