Hey guys,
I found a great deal on some scimitar's and I would like to know the true length (tape pull) of 174 and 181 model's.
I read somewhere that they run shorter than advertised.
I'm 5'8"-5'9", 145lbs, ski pretty much only park, ski in Ontario. I ski about 55/45 rails to jumps.
Right now i'm leaning towards the 174, but if they run shorter than advertised I will get 181's,
K+ and thanks to anyone who helps!

U will feel more stability on the longet skis, and they have a large amount of rockoer so id go with the 181

I'm 5'8' and ride the skis in a 174 all around the mountain, and they feel great in that length for me

Rossi's run a lil short, maybe 1cm shorter. My 174 s4's measure 173. As for sizing, my friends are pretty short and all ride the 181 and have no problems with the length. They're really light for their size.
