that being said, Im woundering if i should have gotten the 186. I got the 176. granted, i want something I can take in the mogules in the trees, in the powder and a little int he park, but Im 6'1" and probably about #200. I ski well though and need something that will really proform.

should I take the 176cm back for a pair of 186cm.s?


I am used to my High Societys which are 178, a bit heavy and not too great int he mogules I wouldnt say. Not to mention their sidcut. not a bad ski at all, but not what I want.

if you are 6' 1" and 200 you should definitely go with the 186

definately go for the 186 id say aswell, im about 160 and ski the 181 mojo 80s and there absoloubtly fine, have also tested the 90s in 176 and thought they were an AWESOME ski but could definately handle longer, go for the bigger ones.

even if i wanna do mogules??? I read that they ski short of their length but 186 is bigger then my last skis and I was thinking i wanted something that skied as if it was smaller then my last skis. My last skis were 178 High Societys, probably heavier and definatly less sidcut then the Mojos.

I'm 5'11" 155lbs and ski on 180cm skis.  I demoed the 186 Mojo 90s and they were a little too long for me.  That being said, it seems like they would be a good length for you, especially if you mount them close to center.

It kinda depends on what you want I guess. Short skis are kinda fun, so if you like the lack of stability in exchange for quicker swing weight, keep em.

center is not good for moguls, having a long tail catches easily. for this guy i say if you live west of the mississippi (except minnesota), go big or go home, if you're an east coaster stay with the shorter ski, you'll like it more in the moguls and trees, and it will be easier in the park to spin.

I'm 6'1" and 165 and I ride the 186's.  I would have gotten the 193's, but I already have a super damp ski so I got these for messing around and skiing slower.  They're surprisingly stable when you get moving, but if you're 200 lbs you will probably overpower the 176's just by looking at them.  Go up one size if you want a good all-around ski that's still a bit on the smallish side, or get the 193's if you ride harder and don't go in the park much.

I used to go in the park more then I do, but I want to start up again. I also want something that skis mogules really well, along with groomers, and I would like to be able to take it in moderate powder too. I changed my order (they hadnt shipped yet) to the 186. sounds like that is the ski for me. maybe ill get some huge fatty skis later for more hardcore powder/BC.

The Mojos are a ski that doesn't excel at everything, but it will do anything well.  I really like mine, but now that I have more specialized skis I don't use them nearly as much as I used to.
