Local shop has some skis for a quick buy
Bdog 172
Blend (last years) 185
Chronic 178
I like a light buttery ski, am 5"9 140lb this would just be a quick end of season ski for park and small jibs. Which would be best for me?

Definitely the bdog, those blends are way too long

Felt like it but I also think the 172 will be too short, but it's all they got so I might have to take it

Definitely don’t buy the wrong ski just because it’s available unless you got money to burn

It should be fine since my current is 163, I'd prefer 180 but the BDOGs in 172 shouldn't be a problem

Your riding 163’s? How do you even ski those at 5’8? 172 bdogs will ski like shit for you.
