Rossi Experience sizing advice
Posted: 14 April 2012 10:53 AM
Hi!
Im 6’1, 176 pounds, US 11 boot size.
I need a board for big mountain freeride-backcountry.
Rossi Experience have 252 mm waist for regular version, and 261 for middle wide. I think i need the middle wide version becouse 11 boot size.
But i hung with lenght. 164 or 168?
Is’t 168 too long for me?
Or 164 too short for my weight with backcountry backpack 10-15 pounds plus?
How big is the difference in maneuverability 164 and 168 ???

Aha tricky. Yeah you could ride either. I’d say for me the 163 was perfect and I’m 164lbs and 5’8”. I guess it depends on where you want to ride it. Big open bowls where you can open-up the throttle and you want more effective edge and stability then go for the 168. If you’re more sidecountry and trees riding then opt for the 164. For me the 163 felt stiff enough, I wouldn’t have wanted to go for the size up so I think the 164 would probably suite you for more terrain and you won’t need to worry about float, there’s enough surface area to keep you above the snow. So I’d say 164 unless you really intent on riding some nasty extreme terrain and epic-ly good or hard conditions.

Thank you Rich! You opened my eyes)) I’ll take 164.
