I'll start by giving my stats, I'm 6'1 155 pounds. im an advanced skier who skis 60% powder, all mtn, bumps, trees, eTC. And 40% park and groomers. Last year I skied a 166 when I was 5'11 (I know it's small) now I want to make the jump To a 176. Will I get used to it right away? Should I stck to what I'm used to in smaller skis? Will longer skis feel better?

Opened this expecting a thread about the worlds smallest jump. Can honestly say I'm disappointed however it is gear talk so really I'm just an idiot.

Get 180+ skis. You will get used to the length real quick and love it after that.
