<description>K2 Kung Fujas Ski&#x3C;br /&#x3E;&#x3C;br /&#x3E;I&#x26;#39;m 5&#x26;#39;7&#x26;quot; and was wondering whether the 169 or 179 would be better for me.  I am an intermediate-advanced skier and would be using this a 60% all-moutain 40% park ski on the east coast and a 20% park 80% all mountain and light to medium depth pow ski out west.  Basically it looks like I&#x26;#39;m right on the border between the 169 and 179.  Currently on 171 jib-rockered park skis now.  I guess the size I&#x26;#39;d get heavily depends on the rocker profile of these.  Is it pretty exaggerated?</description>

<description>Line Prophet 98 Ski&#x3C;br /&#x3E;&#x3C;br /&#x3E;What size for 5&#x26;#39;5&#x26;quot; / 150lbs intermediate skier. I demoed the Prophet 90/165cm and found it to be easy to turn, manage... currently skiing on a carver 70 waist 160cm. Looking for some off piste wider ski, for lighter skier and not so stiff... not sure if I should go 165 or 172. How short does it go due to the rocker tip?</description>

<description>Rossignol S3 Ski&#x3C;br /&#x3E;&#x3C;br /&#x3E;Just picked up a pair of Rossi S3 (178 cm) at a sweet deal.  Thinking about getting a pair of hammerheads for them.  The 0&#x26;quot; line on the ski seems pretty far back and the +5 line seem right but +5 seems pretty extreme.  Any thoughts?  If it matters I&#x26;#39;m 5&#x26;#39;6&#x26;quot;, 145-150lbs and where a size 25 garmont boot.</description>

I&#x26;#39;m 5&#x26;#39;10&#x26;#39;&#x26;#39; and weight around 140 pounds. I&#x26;#39;m concerned the 178s will be a little too short and the 186s a bit to big. What size would you recomend?</description>
