Ski Reccomendations

I have a pair of the Kartel 98s from 3 years ago and absolutely love them. I ride them in the park (although I have a pair of Magnus for pure park days) and then in snow up to 6 inches or so. Unfortunately can't speak to the ARVs or Vandals but would 100% recommend the Kartels.

Also, the Kartels are basically bulletproof, my buddy ran them over in his Subaru. Skis were fine and his tire popped. Just saying.

How do the Kartels ski shorter or longer?

Volkl One might be worth looking at.

I'll tell you what ski you need, it's by a little known company that makes a few skis, very rare to find, honestly. This tiny company, they make the best skis all right, they hand craft them in the most American warehouse you'll find. Can you guess what ski I'm talking about??? No, you can't because they are so unknown to the unwashed masses, the "Jerry's" you see at "insert most generic ski resort".when you're out tearing up them groomers everybody's attention will be on you, in awe of your amazing skiing abilities and especially those fine looking skis! When you are in line to get on the gondi, the lifties will already have your skis loaded up for you, not because you're an actual bumbling retard but because they recognize your wisdom and talent just by looking at your skis. you must be on the edge of your seat with sweaty palms longing for the answer. What skis do you need, you ask?? Well the answer is simple, You need Rossignol Soul 7's.

Seriously so torn on if this deserves a thumbs up or down... Even torn on thumbing OP's response.

.newschooler.69How do the Kartels ski shorter or longer?

They ski longer than you would expect for a ski with that much rocker (although I'm 5'7" 140lbs and ride a 176).

I'm 5'4" So I would probably get the 161 or what the size is in the 60's range
