What would be the best freestyle skis for me?

SKIERS, what size freestyle skis should I buy? :S?

  • For christmas im thinking of buying myself a pair of Salomon Temptress' but I don't know whether to buy 161cm or 151cm. Im new to freestyle skiing and will be trying it for the first ...show more

  • Answer:

    i would go with the 151 because they would be easier to handle wherever you go or do. The only advantage to a longer ski would be better flotation in powder and more stability and edge at high speeds.But it is easier to try something new with shorter skis

More important than how tall you are is how much do you you weight and how aggressively you ski... Now, this being your first time ALWAYS go shorter and quite frankly (take no offense here) unless you are QUITE overweight for your height the shorter of the 2 will still be the better choice. As I tell my staff and customers every day, its really easy for someone to make the mistake of going too long in skis... but its almost impossible to go too short (especially for beginners) The shorter length will give you faster turning and better swing speed while still offering stability... Go short.
