Ok i've decided to buy 4frnt STL's, mainly from all the positive feedback from the forum posts here. So heres my question. What size should i get them. the 147 or 167? I'm 5'6' (167cm) I'm 21 so im done growing. But i only weigh 130 lbs. (ya i know im a bit skinny.) And what would be the pro's and cons of both lengths? I normaly ski on 150's and have never really got into freeskiing until now. I could also use some ideas on what kind of bindings i should get and boots. Thanks

167 for sure. and try them out for yourself, dont go by what you hear in the forums, everybody has different styles of skiing. find the right ski for you

167s without a doubt. i'm 5'6' 125 and i ride the 169 PEs (which are actually closer to 173ish) and i wouldn't have it any other way

start smoking crack. It'll probably be better for you, and you won't need alcohol anymore - Melvs

im 5'8 maybe 5'9 and about 125 (madd skiiny not my fault i eat a crap load) and i have the line chronics 177...there about up to my head....and the year before i had line mavericks 150 which was a huge jump for me...it took me about 4/5 days for me of skiing to get used to them special because the line bindings are so heavy but now that ive gotten used to em i love them....deff go with the 167 it might take a couple days but ull get used to em..and it wont look like you have snow blades on...

they will be more stable at high speeds and landings, go with the longer ones...bindings? the looks and rossis are very durable, and quite popular. for your weight, you don't need more than the p10 or the axial/power 100...









i hope harvey bans you just so i can piss on your digital grave.

Definately go wiht the 167's, i was trying to decide between 170's and 176's and i couldnt decide because my last skis were 170's but im so much happier with my new 176's. more stable, no harder to spin and they look better
