Hey everyone,
I'm currently looking at purchasing a nice pair of black crows camox in their smallest size :174cm
The largest ski I've ever ridden was a 169 Atomic Vantage CTI which i felt fine and stable upon
Would jumping up to 174 be a significant difference having only ridden a pretty stiff 169 ski?
I'm 172cm tall for reference

If you are an intermediate level skier, a ski that is the same height as you should not be a problem to handle (experts will easily go above their head).

This is especially true when the ski has a little bit of tip and tail rocker like the Camox does. If anything your Vantage might actually ski a bit longer since it has a flatter tail and less tip & tail rocker.

Don't be afraid of the 174, embrace it. Send it.

It’s all preference. Just don’t be that kid who is 170cm tall and uses a 140cm ski. Those are for little kids.
