How long should my Park Skis be?

.Fryas long as your dick

DientoDid you hire your skies in aussy at monster ski hire by chance? (I worked there for the aussy winter season)

Tickn3rHaha nah dude, I live in Victoria, I think Monster Ski hire is in Jindabyne, NSW? And bought my own skis too! I wish I made it up north, the snow was epic at perisher. you gota come do a season at Hotham bruh lol

TemptationskillSpinning is going to be the thing effected most if you go with the longer ski. I'd say if you're riding mostly park size down, if you're riding mostly all mountain size up.

strayln_SkierYeah mate mosnter is in Jindy. Also does Hot Ham have a good park or what?

Tickn3rYeah Hotham has 2 parks, 1 runs along the summit which is a green run and full of noobs, can get congested. Then a smaller park out front of the pub, everyone sits there having beers watching ppl stack it haha.
Hotham has really steep terrain and some crazy tracks when theres lots of snow around August. Good skiiers mountain, for Aus anyway.

strayln_SkierYeah nice sounds fun mate. I've heard it can be Australia's best resort on a pow day.

SofaKingSickRule of thumb is start with your height and add or subtract from there. So you're like 187cm, and pretty heavy, and will be using the skis for all mtn, so I'd go 188. 184 if you strongly prefer shorter skis or aren't very good

...why do they have a 184 and a 188? So close in size haha. Maybe I misread or something though

Tickn3rI've read all kinds of conflicting information online.

My height is 6'2 and I weigh 125kg (275 Pounds in the USA, I'm a heavy bastard but I send it hard haha)

Spent Winter Down Under on 176cm Atomic Punx, which suit Aus/ NZ conditions for me, but now I'm looking for something with a wider waist and all-mountain setup for an upcoming trip to Austria.

Most likely going to go with Faction CT 2.0 and I can't decide between 184 and 188. What do yall reckon? How do longer skis affect Jibs and Landing Jumps etc. Do you think it's easier or harder with a longer ski? Considering my height and weight lol

I traditionally have prefered a shorter ski so I can whip around alot easier on the mountain, but this may not be so beneficial in the deeper snow, that we don't really get over here in Aus

Cheers

TemptationskillI like that they do 184 AND 188 cause the edollo for example is too short or too long for my liking (178 or 188) the 184 is perfect for myself

skiermanGet whatever feels good for you, you fucking jackass. Kids these days cannot think for themselves.... pathetic.

Mr.BishopI'm 6'2" and 250lbs - I've firmly settled on the 184 for my park skis. I've never been into ballerina spins, which is your major trade off with longer skis. 184 doesn't feel long though, and I actually feel like I have some ski under me.

first_rodeoI'm 5'4" thoroughly enjoy 180s anything smaller than 176 there's not enough ski to have stability.

Tickn3rWell Jackass, its hard to try a pair of skis and see what feels right when its the middle of summer here in Aus. I cant exactly try them out for a day and theyre WAY cheaper here than in Europe, so going to buy before I go.
Thats what this forum is for, so blow me
