Long story short I might be able to cop some t-halls for dirt cheap, problem is I don't know how well they'll fit me. I've skied short skis before, and tend to because its hard to find skis that truly fit my height, plus I ski almost all rails anyway, what makes me more nervous is the flex, since the ski is flexy and it's short I'm nervous as to how stable it would be. For a reference point, I've skied domains in a 179 and loved them, my favortite ski to date, (k2 measures short so the 179 was really 184 or something). Anyway thanks in advance

I'm 6'3 and 181s are just fine. You should be able to manage them easily

This. I'm also about your height and they'll be fine unless you're like 300 pounds or something

I hate to break it to you, but a 181 is not a short ski.

It is for us 6'4 doods.

OP I still ride "179" domains too. But I picked up some 185 9th B Murdahs and those are like forehead height for me.

I wouldn't call the THalls flexy, or at least pigeon hole them as such.

They ski like an AR7 underfoot (a pretty damn stiff park ski) but just have a slightly more flexible nose to them. You'll be fine on them even on big ass jumps.

I'm in the same boat being 6'5" I always wish for like an AR7 in a 183 or so, especially in Armada but don't want to ski the El Rey 185 or the Al Dente 188.
