Im 6'1 almost 6'2 and I want to know how long to go. I got my eye on a pair of 180s. Is that long enough or should I be looking for the 189s

depends on how much you weigh but once youre that tall and asuming youre a fairly advanced skier the bigger the better but ya 180 ^  for youre height looks good in my opinion but i really hate snow blades

weight and skier type play a part in this too. Also, what are they for - park, pow, groomers?

If that's for a park/groomer ski, assuming you're an advanced/expert skier who weighs about 175ish-215ish, 180 would be fine. If they are for pow or you weigh more than 215 you may want to 189s.
