Hey Y'all, I'm keen as for these skis just wondering if I can get away with the 175's.
I am an aggressive skier, like to go fast and bomb off things, I live in OZ so alot of the skiing I do is OS so the bigger the ski the more weight ( lots of weight restrictions on planes these days ) and the more hasstle to lug.
I am currently on the Nordica Blower 193s or something ( whatever the biggest one was ). They are sick at speed but can be a little tricky on flatter stuff, I also have a set of smaller Ninthward park skis but they suck in powder. Be good to have a set that worked for both.
Long question short can the 175's work?

Josh you appear to be a good skier, took a look at your profile... why do the chops suck? I haven't skied all of the rockered skis out there so im not an expert on them. That said i love these skis. Anywho just wanted to hear your thoughts.

Just to clear the air for people that are confused, if you see Josh Christensen post something, there's a 99% chance he's entirely right about what he's saying.

You could try 179 K2 Kung Fujas Rockered. 98mm underfoot. Mid-Flex. Work well everywhere. Chopsticks suck anyway...

This is a great ski, it does well all over the Mountain the construction will have it holdin an edge on the hard stuff while the shape will let you float in the pow. The park scene might be a lil more tricky..esp if you go that long, which I would recommend for the all mountain aspect..either way 2 outta 3 aint bad..go for it!
