Poster: A snowHead
|
i am going to buy some k2 burnin luv skis but am unsure as to what size to buy. 163cm comes up to my forehead but the 156 sits at about mouth level, which i think is a touch small. i am doin an eleven week ski instructor course so i think the larger size would be better. i was just wondering if anyone had skied them and if its better to have them longer or shorter. any help would be awesome.

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

If you can get to a snowdome with an Ellis Brigham attached you can demo them for free (well the cost of an hour at the dome)

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

morry, I ski 153 BLs and only today I was thinking I need longer next time. I think they do ski short, which is what I needed when I bought them but if I were buying them again I'd go longer

morry, AFAIK Burnin' Luv's come in either 153, 160 or 167. How heavy are you & which year's ski are you planning to buy? I ask as K2 added a metal top sheet to 2008/9 BL.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

I have burnin luvs and think they are fantastic. I am 5ft 7 and 11st 7. My skis are 156 and I find them perfect. I came down from 165 and thought they might be too short, but thankfully I was wrong.

I have them in a 149 as I am only just 5'1" and they come to about my eye level I think. I am a cautious intermediate skier and love them. They cut through ice like butter!
I demoed them at EB at MK first and I think they only had a couple of sizes available for demo. I would have thought you would need them at least up to your forehead if you are an advanced skier.

spyderjon, this season the Burning Luv comes in 149, 156, 163 and 170 - I'm wondering if that's the overall length or the true length (if you see what I mean).
morry, I'd say the shorter length since it's not float that you're looking for, unless you're an exceptionally heavy person!
