I'm 6'2", 185, how do 174cm 1080 guns sound for me if I ski mostly in the backcountry, steep and deep kinda stuff?

Thanks.

174 is tiny for a bc ski. you should be on something 185+ for pow/bc

if you want to ski some powder out here in the PNW, the prophet 100's might be better suited to you than the 90's

Yeah, but I need a ski that will hold up on those icy days too.
