6'5 and 200. they feel a bit small, couple more cm's wouldnt go amiss, but i really like the way they ski. they arent powder specific for me tho.

I'm 5'8 and 140 pounds.. i think i will be picking up a pair of bacons this season.. my vote is yes they are too small.. probably for all of you.. depending on pounting points i would go at least 186 probably 190 for a pow ski over 6'2

just depends on what u want to do with the ski. personally im using it for some all mountain jibbing and if we get a little snow, so be it. i wanted soft and playful yet versatile. theres no set size for any person, theres so much personal preference, and such a limit on big skis.
