so im looking at some 189 k2 AK enemies and im 6'0 and 155 lbs. I know... total bean pole. Im skinny as fuck i get it. Anyways im a really agressive skier and for park im riding 181 centered pipe cleaners and i know that those k2s will measure to be about a 192 ish and im just wondering on your guys imput. Theyd be used for pow days and shredding the headwaters at moonlight basin and lone peak at big sky and the ridge at bridger. Also will these be quick enough to handle tight chutes with my skinny self or should i look for a smaller size like maybe a 188 JJ. I just want a bomber big mountain twin tip. Recommend one

measuring actual contact points... doubt it is 192.
If youre strong enough to swing it, itll go fast enough.

k2 obsethed . killer out-of -the-park ski, they make a 189 that should be just fine. I rode the 179, and I'm 6'3 190/ski real hard, never had a problem. the 105 waist is still nimble enough to jib too. they are worth a gander...

sounds like a fun ski but if you were shredding a 179 and youre 6'3 and 190 youre using a smaller ski than i would and im shorter and weigh much less. i'll just see if i can get my hands on some demos before i buy to see what size seems to rip best for me
