id go 185...

with this ski there is no rocker even though they say it has rocker...

my volkl karmas after 1 year of skiing has the same amount of 'rocker' as the lord...

*just so u know*

so the 185 is gonna ski like a 185.

That is wrong there is Rocker to this ski it is just 210mm which is just enough for what the ski is designed for.

Agreed, there's 210mm rocker on the lords and the lady's it's pretty much a stealth tip.

85mm under foot.

Full wood and semi twin tail.

The 185 is the length I tried last year and it's fucking amazing.

This ski is solid and shred icy pack as much as it floats in pow.

It's a great freeride ski without a speed limit.

dude i know the specs.

i have also held and observed the ski more times than i can count...and the amount of 'rocker' in the tip is basically non-existant.

like i said my karmas do the same thing when pushed together...

If you've ever held them, you'd see. They have no rocker. I didn't understand why they would put so little rocker on a ski, then I saw the sk and saw there was no rocker. I'm really surprised salomon advertises they do. They have so much camber that it wouldn't help anyway.
