Powder ski length - moment wildcat 116
Should I buy this ski in 174 cm or 179 cm?
I’m 170cm with ski boots on. I weigh 175lbs. Short muscular build. Im an advanced skier pushing to become an expert by end of next season. I ski about 50 days a year. I primarily ski in the Rockies and like to ski trees on powder days, so agility is important. I’m a directional skier and like to push speed. I won’t do tricks, but like to do some jumps. This ski will only be used on powder days. My other skis are 165cm enforcer 94s and 169cm enforce 110 frees.
