Baller BobF Posted June 20 Baller Share Posted June 20 Hi Ballers! I have a question about sizing on the Connelly C1. I'm at the top of the range for 66" and the bottom of the range for a 67". The ranges are in the image below, but since the sizing does not specify any differences for speed, I'm not sure which way to go. I course ski at 34 mph, and typically to 35 off. Anyone that's been on this ski have any words of wisdom? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller DvarianDan Johnson Posted June 21 Baller Share Posted June 21 Tough call if you can’t demo. What size ski do you ride now? I’m also just under the 66 max per the chart but ride a 66 DV8, and also have a 67 GTR. Have not ridden a C1 yet but at your speed and line length I would lean to the 67. Connelly’s IMO feel shorter and perform better skiing fast. 12m at 55k the 67 should feel great if dialed in. I went back to the 67 GTR last week to ride it again and it felt great so staying there for a bit. Not at your lines yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Horton Posted June 21 Administrators Share Posted June 21 If on the bubble I would take the 66.

Baller Mose Posted June 21 Baller Share Posted June 21 have U skied any other high end Connelly's in a 66 or 67 if so that that will give U a indication of what size will work with the C1 on a side note when is the the review of the C1 coming out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller BobF Posted June 21 Author Baller Share Posted June 21 Thanks for the input, guys. I'm riding a 66" D3 right now, and I'm in the middle of the range for that one. I haven't ridden a recent Connelly since I tried my friend's 68" DV8 just to see what it was like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller jjackkrash Posted June 21 Baller Share Posted June 21 D3 in their sizing/chart recommendations equates 5 lbs. with 2 mph. This seems reasonable to me. Connelly's are also relatively narrow to start with and ride deeper/different than, say, a Vapor. That is my direct comparison. I'd check the width on your D3 and compare. If you decide you want more ski under your front foot you might want to go with the bigger ski. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller richfoster Posted June 23 Baller Share Posted June 23 Someone correct me if I’m wrong,but isn’t the C1 wider than the DV8? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Drago Posted June 23 Baller Share Posted June 23 I think that's true, the c-1 is narrower than an ION 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller BobF Posted June 23 Author Baller Share Posted June 23 The 66" C1 is listed as 6.71 width. The eyeballed measurement on the widest part of my 66" D3 r2 is about 6.8ish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Drago Posted June 23 Baller Share Posted June 23 I’m measuring at the front foot heel (not eyeballing) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
