Hi there,
Thinking about getting these skis, however, I'm not sure what size to get. 170cm or 180cm? I'm 5'10'' 150lb. Originally, I wanted 175s, but that's not an option for these skis. I tested the Rossi S3s last winter in 168cms and loved them, although they were definitely a little short. My friends are telling me to get the 180s to help me progress as a skier. Also, not sure what bindings Im going to use. Your thoughts?
Thanks,
Bryan

Depends a lot on terrain choice, turn preference and how aggro you are. If you like the trees, bumps and slalom turns I'd stay with the 170s. If you prefer to arc it out at mach 7, get the 180s. Bindings: AT or Alpine? If AT I'm a believer in the light weight and bomber turning of the Dynafits. Enjoy!
