i am looking for a powder rockered ski 170 ish length. i don't want something that is to big like the hellbents, Ep pros, motherships, or pontoons.

i was looking at the k2 obsethed

if there is anything else i should be checking into let me know with a PM message

rockered skis ski shorter because the tips are sitting so high in the air, so that extra length might be nice. I personally wouldn't ski anything rockered less than 180.

169 obsethed should be good(actually measures about 172cm). I'm riding the 179 (im 5'11") and love it. Mini rocker, wide but not too wide for all mountain/park (105). just an excellent all around ski that can kill it in the bc or around the mountain including the park. usually when a ski is designed to do everything it doesnt do anything overly well. however, the obsethed does it all (mostly) and does it well.

Not only do rockered skis ski shorter, but you should consider going a tad longer if you are growing.  Nothing is worse than growing out of stuff you love!
