So I just sold my 169 fujis and I was wondering if a ski around 177 - 181 be to big for me? Im 5'9 and wiegh 145, but I cant go corked on anything yet! and Im afraid if I go in a bigger lenght I wont be able to cork out any of the spins I have ( My biggest spin being a 7). So help me out with this.

naw man you'll be fine with a longer ski... i wouldnt suggest goin with anything over 180 so id say go with like a 177... and you get used to longer skis REALLY fast when you get them... after a while you dont even notice them anymore... and as for going corked... longer skis or shorter skis dont make a difference for that its how your body is positioned so stop being a pussy and try it! haha good luck

I'd say go witht he chronics cause they will be shorter and the salomons will probably cost you lots more right?
