Hey! I am about 170cm(5’8?) and I Do wonder if the reckoners 112 wilL suit me better in 170cm since mp is about 5cm back contra the 177 version which will be comberson whipping tricks and being agile.
my hypothesis is that the 170cm will be more jibby which suits my riding style, will t be too short to handle tho? I ride park skis from 175-180 centeounted and I have always felt like there is too much tail when riding outside groomers.
i know the hype about longer skis but I do have superior balance so I don’t need the extra cms of stability. I am crazy for considering this norm-breaking plan?
have any of u used pow skis the same height as yourself or even shorter mby?
Thanks in advance.
(Ps, I do not give a rats ass about ppls opinions of style)
I am strictly asking a performance question.
I was contestant for the 177cm version but I do have to out some experience from longer skis I used in the past. Sure, longer skis are more stable but as I would consider myself a expert compared to 99% o

Continue.... myself an expert compared to 99% of skiers, not pro but expert. I feel like longer skis removes the "one-body"-"one-ski" feeling, like i have complete controll of the skis.
Im skiing mostly 2-3¨ of fresh snow with one trip this winter whom will provide alot more that so.

I mean if you think skis that are 175-180 feel too long then size down. IDK they are a really soft ski and I would personally get the 177

if you are 170cm tall go for the 170. long skis feels sick, but can be very hard to manage in tight areas. a shorter ski might not float as good when it's deep, but is going to be more willing to play around. i try to get skis that are same height as me or slightly shorter
