By Ranked #610 - Telemark Skis and Alpine Touring Skis November 8, 2010

Write your question here...I read all the other Q/A's but I'm still a bit uncertain. I'm 5'8" and weigh only 140lbs. I am an avid, advanced telemarker and this'll be my 13th season at 50+ days/season. I have been on Atomic tele skis for the last 6 yrs and always love the way they ski, but I feel like I'm ready to change over to this S7 Pro Mancini Ski. I just don;t know what size to go with. I always like shorter skis that I can muscle around and just do with them whatever I please, and I've had no issues with shorter lengths and slimmer waistlines in deep powder. My current Atomics are 173cms. Do I go all the way up to 188cm in these or will I be better off with the 178cm length? Help?

The lengths are 176, 188 actually. They weigh 8.75 and 10 pounds, 5 ounces respectively, so you'll be hauling allot more mass with you wherever you go. I am getting the S7 188s, but I weigh 170 to 180, and I am 6',1". My buddy who is 5',10" and weighs 160 got a pair of 176s and loves them in pow. I've skied his skis with AXLs on them on corn snow with sun cups and runnels and they were awesome! I advise the 176s unless you live in powder heaven.

these have a lot of rocker and tapered tips and tails which makes them very easy to turn in powder. i think you will be able to handle the 188 but if you like shorter lengths the 178 is not to short. hope this helps
