so 50/50 would you say?
at 200 lbs your kind of a bigger guy so prob 178 and up...if you were to look at skis for 50/50...try ar6, arv, seths, guns, foil

179 or 186 blends/chronics would be perfect for your size and skiing

Get the length thats closest to your height, but If your right in the middle i'd take the one higher up. If you mount a couple cm up from reccomended then definitely go taller.
