im 5'7 145, i've ski about 25 days a year since i was 6, i am thinking about size. i will ride these skis in the park exclusively. should i get the 159 or the 169. my current park skis are 170's but they are pretty slim and there is not much ski there. they are also much lighter, but i intend to put a heavier binding on (BD 02) I feel like i should get the 169, but since speed has never been a problem i kind of want the 159, are they for teenagers and kids?
Thanks

I am 5'11'' and 145 and ski the 169. I use them in the park and big mountain with BD 02's with rid stiff cartridges mounted center. Super fun. I would say that if you are going to use them completely in the park, get the 159. Spin fast and don't have that extra weight. You'll have plenty of tail to stomp your tricks with. Hope you figure it outLuke
