You cant go wrong with going longer especially if your mounting the skis near center. Its a crappy feeling when your skis come up short.

Mostly just park. I wasn't sure how big they would actually be.

181 easier to spin off rails plus the diff isnt much bigger. shorter skis are more convenient/easier to get around

im pretty sure reno jibs have huge tips/tails, which makes them ski shorter than they are. i'd get 186.

just out of curiosity, where are you buying them from?

I dont know probably off like backcountry.com or something. I want a ski that is closer to the top of my head cause i like a longer ski, but i dont wanna get the 186 if it will be like way over my head. Does any one know of any other pretty big symetrical park skis. I was also considering the volkl walls

186, don't be a pussy.

they won't tower over your head. go to a shop and look at a ski that size if you have to. If it scares you, there's a problem.
