If I was 200 pounds, I'd be transparent!  I'd like to get a bit leaner.  250 would be great.  225 is probably impossible, let alone 200.  To get to that weight, I'd never be able to drink another beer!

I have to buy 3X Tall Columbia gear.  The jacket is still a bit tight in the shoulders, and its waaaaay too big through the midsection (I need the shoulder room and arm length).  I just don't have a big beer belly like they design these things for.  My pants are 3X Tall Columbia and they aren't too bad, a little loose.  I'd love to find some options, but no one makes decent gear for .0001% of the skiing public.

I ride Volkl AC3 Unlimited 184cm and Solomon X Wave 9 boots.  I think its a decent setup for a big, aggressive skier that doesn't hit the park (except to watch my 5'6" friends).

wow I've only seen 87 other threads like this. but...i will say wat i always say, yea im tall like 6'2" i can can spin and flip faster then almost anyone i know. being tall or short is neither a handicap nor a advantage in the park. if you say "Im 6'4" it sucks for park" its probly not your height your just uncordinated ha!

I'll agree with that!  I'm as uncoordinated as anyone.  I'm extremely flexible and light on my feet, but when it comes to complicated body maneuvers, I'm out.

6'4" here and I pride myself on having a clean style, is hard to have a gangster appearance at my stature, having core strength and balance goes a long way
