Attiva Fuego - 154 or 161 for me?

[mafebarros]

Diva,

I am in doubt here. I am a level 9 skier in groomers and probably 1-2 below in powder and bumps. I measure 5,1 feet and weight around 125-130 pounds...

Should I get a 154 or a 161? I like to speed but I am also concerned that the 161 might be too long and harder to turn (especially if I want to get better on bumps...). On the other hand, I am really annoyed when I feel that a (shorter) ski is imposing me a speed limit....

What are your thoughts?

Thanks!!

Mafe

Hmmm I'm going to lean towards the 154 because of your height. You might not have the leverage to get everything out of the 161 even though you have the skill. I don't think it will hold you back speed wise, it's a pretty stiff ski. It's really hard to say for sure without a demo. FWIW I'm the same weight and ski a 154 Fuego.

Thanks! I am inclined to get the 154 as well..

FWIW I'm 5'3.5" (yes, it's an important half inch!) and I would go with the 154 as well.

154 should be fine for you. If I were to buy the Fuego, I'd go with the 161, but I outweigh you by 60+ lbs.
