Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better!
Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Hi there, I normally ski a 177 piste ski but I feel the need to buy some twin tip Bent 100's for a laugh in the trees and general messing about this season, I am under the impression that with twin tip skis I would want them a little longer than my piste skis due to the rocker of a twin tip reducing the amount of ski in contact with the snow? has anyone got any advice or experience in this area? thanks

Well, no-one else has replied so I will. Yes, they should be longer than your piste skis but you're only choosing between two options: 180 or 188. You don't give your stats or ability level so the only logic to use is where your piste skis sit in their size range. If your 177 ski is the longest length available in that ski take the 188 Bent, if the 177 is the second longest, take the 180 Bent.
Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

As above.
The length will be determined by your Weight/Ability/Terrain choice/Height/Personal preference/Aggression.
