it depends on how wide...
the first thing that comes into my mind is the ski i'll be riding, the 177 chronic. with an 80mm waist, it's a lot of ski....i'm 5'6' like 135, and i'll be riding it....

i think pretty much whatever you ride, you'll get used to.
bu tthat size sounds real good for you

They will probably be good for you, the extra length will make them even better all mountain skis.

^that's great for you, but the rest of us have to remember to take what you say with a grain of salt, because as it says in your sig: you like george bush and deep powder, and hate rails. this kid will probably want something shorter than your xxtreme powder boards when he goes to buy a park ski.



my level of radness... it just can't... be quantified.
