Ok.
Me (178cm) and my brother (184cm) are going to buy a pair of fujatives together. im mostly hanging out in the park while my brother is more of a racer/allround guy. I would like to get the 169s but my brother thinks the 159s is the better choice. im now skiing on a couple of völkl 168 and i really like them, both the lengt and the ski. Anybody got some suggestions on how to convince him that we should get the 169s.

Anyway, if we get the 159s do u think i will notice any difference, compared when im riding my völkls 168?

tell him the 169's are better for you guys. He's probably been on more racing style skis (non- twins) which have a flat back. With twins you have to remember the back is also tipped, so that makes the skis 5ish CM shorter.

you could even go with 179 cm, its not like the skis are heavy.

Your brother needs to get past his slalom mindset. Skis with a short turning radius are not great in the park especially if you hook an edge on landings. ACL/MCL repair anyone? Bigger skis = more stable landing.

definately 179 haha whatever you do, do not get the 159s you will look like a dork,not get as much speed,it wont be stable at high speeds,and not as stable on rails and if you want a park ski that can ski all mountain definately look a the public enemy or armada ar5
