I just ordered this years filthy rich's in size 161. I'm about 5'2 and was previously skiing on cambered 150's. So my question is, how short will the fr's feel/ski since they are rockered, will it feel like I'm skiing my old 150's or will it feel longer

they might feel longer on the hardback, but as soon as the FR touch in soft snow you will definitely feel the length. But don't forget that you are still carrying 10+cm of new ski even though you might not feel it...

I want a longer ski than I'm using right now so I was wondering if the length would feel the same as my old skis or would they feel longer

with the rocker they ski a full size smaller, that and the infinite turn radius lets you ski them how ever you want.
