hey, i know there is lots of posts out there for this, but i just wanna make sure, and get some advice.
i am about 5'11', or 179cm
i want to get a pair of twin tips, but not for use in park only, i want to use them whole mountain (not powder really, just normal runs, and a bit of powder), as well as in the park.
my time will be spent about 35/65, mountain/park.
what length twin tips should i get (prob 1080's or whatever i can get cheap)
ive heard 181's, but they are i bit longer than i am tall, so im not too sure.
thanx for your time and help

Well i'm also 5'11' and my old skis where 188 but they were a little long for park. I say get anything between 170 and 180 and you will be fine, but if you really wanna be cool you could get some 133's.
Yea I want cheezy poofs

get the 177 teneightys, i am same height as you and they are perfect for skiing everywhere, especially in oz, though if you have the extra cash i would get pocket rockets

I use 177 1080's all over the mountain and they ski fine, the only thing they don't like to much is icy crap but not many skis do.
