i've try these skis 2day, and i've founded they are a little bit heavy and not too stiff like my old rossignol scratch FS but Foils are large so they work pretty well in powder too !

foils are not heavy skis. And at your size I would rock 166cm, maybe 174.

foils are sick skis. theyre sick cause theyre good in everything.

if you think theyre stiff and heavy, man you have no idea. they are some of the lightest buttery skis you can get. you could try getting lighter bindings, but light bindings usually break... so whatever.
