Alright there are like 100 of these ski size questions around on the forum...but I couldnt find one for me.

I'm 6'3'' 182lbs...i was thinking something around 186 or so...like the pollards.

Any help would be great. thanks a lot.

pollards would be a good choice for park, but i would want a longer ski for powder if i was you. like the jp vs. juliens, eh?

i'm about your size. i'm 6 feet 2 1/2 inches and about 180 pounds. i ride 179 pe's in the park and whenever i went out west this year, i used 185 arv's. i'm looking at a 189 seth v for next year. anyways, the 185 arv's worked pretty nice in pow, but like i said, i'm looking at something longer and fatter for next season

they (troublemakers) became notorious around here for having no durability on rails. there is also lots of confusion on this site as to whether they have cleared this problem up for next year.
