you want a ski about as tall as you are. i am the same hieght and i ride a 167, which is a littl small. get something in the 170-175 range, and if you get lines, go ahead and go long because line has such big timps it makes the surface area smaller
binding destruction count: 2 so far this season, one pair of lines and one pair of rossis: what will be next?
