cost is 400 plus shipping.  Also i need to buy a new pair of pow skis.  Im 5'10" and 200 lbs so i little chub, i have head mojo 80s for park and i think im going to be living at jay peak this winter so i need a good pow ski.  I wan something that can rip everytihng but is primarily a pow tool and is nimble for the tight east coast tris.  any suggestions? i was thinking maybe last years scratch bc wrs?

just a shorter AK Enemy should do the trick.  maybe try trading with someone who feels the 179 is too short.

Well I Think Those seth 189s Would Fit You Just Fine..
But i really really like the WRS BC's
i have heard on the "BC WRS" Ski,  if one is alittle heavier  the ski can get alittle squirrely on you.
But you are only 200 lbs so you should be fine..
just get the 182's

I say keep em. At 200lbs your going to need the 189 for float, the 179 wont cut it in the powder. The scratch bc comes in a 185 and is a little lighter but I prefer the seth, a little more lively and I prefer the sidecut. You could also look into a 187 4frnt msp.

k2 doesn't run big, and if you can't ski them with your size you probably shouldn't ski.

Yes.  K2 skis run larger than their indicated size.

Not sure where you are getting your info.

I think what he's sayig is at 200lbs+ he shouldnt have any problems with a 189 seth. Most people mount seths further forward anyway, anywhere from +2 to +7cm from recomended.

man i really don't think you want to get rid of those skis. the seth's are seriously amazing skis, especially for what you will be using them for.  also, they aren't too big being that you said you're 200 lbs. also seth's are usually mounted about +3-4 sooo really, this ski should be perfect for you. you might wanna reconsider on getting rid of it...
