Hey guys, I'm 6'0'', 180lbs, 20 years old, and an expert skier.  I am going to get the MSP next week (after finding out they give 35% discount to college students). It's going to be a one ski quiver for now, I'll be skiing out east most of the time, and coloroado for about 2 weeks.  Well 6 feet translates into 183 cm, and the MSP181 is taller than I am by about a cm.  I don't wanna get them too long because I do park and backcountry, which size do you guys think I should get?

Thanks,
Jake

go to the 4frnt website, go to shop, make a new account, and register AS A COLLEGE STUDENT, using your SCHOOL EMAIL (you also need to put in your school id number, they check before they ship if you really are a student). you need to put in the right info or it won't work, then you get a new menu with skis poles and bindings, everything is 35% off. you need to type in COLLEGE where it says codes to get the discount on the skis, its applied automatically to bindings and poles.

187. If you charge hard, you're gonna want a bigger ski. Not to mention it will be better out west and in the BC.

the 187 is 96 underfoot and the 181 is 92 underfoot.  if i wanna use it in the park too a little bit shorter will be better right? and I think my last skis were the salomon guns in 174, so the 181's being too short isn't really scaring me
