yep. people think ski height is directly proportional to your height. of course, if you have any brain at all, you'd see that a fat man standing 5'10 and a skinny kid at the same obviously don't have the same control over their skis. bigger guys gotta go longer, so for you my friend, a 185.

since theyre the bc's, 185. if they were the fs's, i'd say 178.

I thought the BC's came in 182 and 188, but perhaps I'm being silly??

It doesn't matter. Get 185 and enjoy that THC :-)
