Post your height, size of ski, and category of ski (park, all-mountain, powder, etc.)

So whenever people ask what ski size to get, different people always offer their personal opinions. Instead of having it so subjective, if we can get enough people to post in this thread we could get an actual model of ski sizes.

I'll start.

6'2" 179 (all-mountain) 189 (powder)

5'9 178 park, 180 powder. I like longer, softer skis in park and shorter stiffer skis in powder, kinda opposite.

5'8". 168 park sticks. If I were to get a rockered ski like the Filthy's I'd probably get a 176. No pow skis...

5'11, 160lbs, 182cm salomon foil.

i really want to get a pair thats a little smaller though, for park. the foils are a great ski and feel like butter on rails and whatnot, but maybe a tad stiff and a tad big. i think i'd aim for the 176 range and something really flexy.
