Obsethed Sizing

Yes I used the search but I still haven't found a satisfying answer.

I'm 6' 160 lbs or so... are the Obsetheds in 179 or 189 appropriate? I'll be riding all mountain with 'em, not worried about much park. I'm confused about the size because I've heard the rocker makes them ski shorter.

Definitely go with the 189. Since you won't be riding much park, the extra length and stability that comes with it will be appreciated.

remember that each size is going to measure aboout 4-5cms longer than the listed size. The 189 would be good for charging and faster speeds, but the 179s will be way more nimble and jib friendly. You arent that big either, so the skis wont be too soft for you either.
