I'm lookin at seth vicious skis, and i cant figure out what length i want. first of all tho, how are the skis? I'm about 6ft 6-1, 200lbs. I hear k2 skis measure running length.. and so i cant decide between 179s (which seem a tad small) or 189s which seem fine for powder, but not very manageable in the air.

You should get the 179 at your weight if you want it as an everyday ski but if it's your huge quiver ski and you kill it then the 189 is rad.

Pretty much same to you radcock except you're big enough to ski the 189 as more than just a pow ski. The 179 is still fun all mountain at 200lbs (I'm 200 lbs and have skied them) but you'll feel like you chose too short in the pow... get the 189.

I would say 189. So does any one know if K2 measure effective edge length?

yeah ^ is a 179cm SV a standing height of 179 or is it a running length of 179 (ie: standing height is more than 179cm)
