Hi

getting a pair of the 2010 Lords next week and don;t know whether to go for 177 or 185. i had last years in a 185 and think they were maybe a little bit too big. i am 6ft tall and 210lbs.

I've been on both lengths, and prefer the 185's. They ski pretty similar though, with the 177's only having a little shorter turn radius.
I love those skis though, they fuckin rip eh!

I'm 5'9" and I'll be rockin the 185's though for sure. I'd stick with that length if I was you.

definitely the 185. with the rocker they will ski alot shorter. for your size, a 190 or so would be best, but 185 will be fine. dont even think about the 177s, they will be wayyy to short

I'm 6'3 190 and I thought the 177 was too small for me, when I demoed last years. I'd go 185...

Nah, not on Lords.  The so called rocker is too small to matter.

They will ski short though, because they are a 177
