Hi I've been looking for skis next year and have come to a liking of on3p's filthy rich ski and wanted to confirm on what size to get. I'm 14 years old weigh around 115 lbs and around 5'6 tall. I would also like the ski to last me a few years to so I don't have to go out and get another pair next year. I know tht on3p skis tend to run bigger than other companies since they measure after they press the ski, but also in contrast to that since the amount of rocker the filthy rich ski has it tends to feel shorter. I was thinking that the 161size would be a good fit for me and just wanted to confirm or get any suggestions from other people thanks.

I think the 171s would be better. Like you said, the rocker will make it seem shorter, and 161 is already on the short side. It's really all just preference though.

Im 5'7 and ride a 170 Da Nollie. They have a similar amount of rocker and they were perfect. Go for 171s now or wait until fall to see how much you'll grow and go for a176s

Ok ya thasks for the advice so far and I ride mostly park and skied a 145 full camber twin last year which was probably to small. So it will probably take some time to adjust to a 171 if I get it. My other questions to you guys was is any of you live in New England or specifically in Massachusetts where is a store that I could buy the Filthy rich ski. I would rather go to an actual store and buy it compared to getting it online.
