Hello to everyone!!
I have a question regarding ski length. I'm ready to buy a new pair of magnums, my old ski's were 170cm and I ski only on piste and love carving down the mountain. My question is: I'm 180cm and weight 75kg.
Should I go for the 170's or the 177's? I'm an aggressive skier and when I sit in the chair on the way up the mountain, my legs are on fire! Hahaha!
I really started applying myself to get better and noticed a huge difference.
What do you guys think?
Thanks!

What's the issue there? You say you are 75kg which is 165lbs, smack in the middle of the advised weight range.

after reading the reviews I would stick to the 170s... 177 is the longest they do and you are not that tall

I think I tend to agree with Daved's advice, based on my own experience, and being a similar height and weight.
On the other hand, I guess if you're relatively young and fit that could influence your choice towards the longer ski.

I had a week on these last season and they're a very good all-round, all-mountain ski - fun everywhere. "Supershape" -> ski them short.
I'm a little heavier than you (85kg), similar height and ski fast enough to keep up with an 11-year-old with no fear... :lol: The 170s were perfect.

It's weight that throws me off. When I look at the chart, it's written 150-190lbs for the 170's.

Oops! that's the issue when I converted from lbs to kg's.. I'm 92 kg (202lbs) not 75kg
Sorry about that!

Modern ski sizing is more to do with ability than weight and height.
Love that chart by the way. The bigger the head the bigger the ski!
