and dont tell me search bar either... just help

im about 6'2" n 180-190 pounds... decent sized guy...

i thinking about getting anthems cause i want a symmetrical ski for park... that is wider underfoot...

but the longest they have is a 178cm... i have always ridden atleast a 181...

do you think i will be wishing i had more length in front especially since they will be center mounted... or do you think i wont even notice it due to the added fattness creating just as much if not more surface area and stability...

????

thanks ;)

At 6'2 and 190lbs 178 is definately too short. You'll want a 181-186 ish ski, longer if they're center mounted.

Anything from 4FRNT (except EHP's), Troublemakers/Big Troubles, ARV's, Head Mojo 90's...just don't get anything shorter than a 180...
