I've been wanting to replace my fat ski (currently a Fischer Koa 110...same ski as the old Big Stix 110). I stumbled upon the opportunity to purchase a pair of Nordica La Ninas...cheap. However, they're 177s. I'm thinking it's going to be too long for me, but......it's tempting.
I'm 5'5", and hover around 135 lbs. I ski the Santa Ana pretty regularly in a 169. My Fischer Koas are 166, and the last few times I've had them out in a lot of snow, I've wanted them longer. The powder ski I've had my eye on, and have demoed a couple times and loved is the Volkl One...in a 176.
So, looking for some advice, mostly from those that have skied the La Nina, and either the One or the Koa/Big Stix. But willing to listen to anyone that may have an opinion. 177 too big for me?
