this year i owned the salomon suspects, and I'm looking into a new ski for pipe and big air comps
I'm 6'4" so im looking for something in the 183-187cm range
i want something skinny, and stiff
if you guys could help with what skis matching that description will be available next year i really appreciate it.

demo'ing sounds goods.  but the different between 181cm and 183cm is most likely not going to be noticeable.

well that was mt mentality about 185 vs a 183, which is why 183 was my low  number.. if that makes any sense

and does anyone know what the volkl wall dimensions will be next year?

if scott is still making the p3 next year look into that.

 It comes in a 184 its around 83mm underfoot 115ish shovel and 105 tail (exact specs not sure). Its woodcore sidewall and they last its on the stiffer side maybe not as stiff in the tip as those suspects though. they arent too bad all mountain definately better than the dumonts Im currently riding.

I think 4fnt might make a longer version of their TNK also.
