189 seems mega long and a little big, who has this length and what do they think of them. Im 6'3 but only 155lbs and i ski 50% powder maybe a bit more and 50%park/"all-mountain"(everything else than the deep stuff). Would 189 be a good length or just too much ski?

dude, if your over 6'2, 189 is like the only way to go. 6 foot i could see you maybe rocking the 179s for a playful all mountain ski, but your tall man. rock the 189s.

dude, i am 6'3" and 155 lbs and have owned both the 189 and 179 seth vicious.

this is how it went for me. the 189 seths were a charging ski. sick for marking big ass turns at mach 3 in the open pow pow. mounted mine at +5 and they spun off cliffs well and landed stuff switch with ease.

the 179s are a more all around ski. they kick ass everywhere. they make shorter, snappier turns easier than the 189s, but can still make the big open turns as well. if you plan on skiing park with these, don't get the 189s. they're just too much ski.

you could ski either, depends on the terrain your skiing. But i would go for the 189.It may seem long at first, but you'll get used to it
