Hey guys, Looking at getting ace of spades skis.... I'm 5'10ish and every bit of 200 what size would you go for the 177 or 184. Like my 179 fujas so I was leaning towards 184 but think they might be too big for a park ski fairly aggressive skier too...... HELP OUT PLEASE!

I would definitely go 184. At that weight it will be a much more stable ski, especially when skied at speed. Also if you are an aggressive skier it will pay off to have more ski. It might take a few days to get used to the extra length, but in the long run it will make you a better skier. If you are wanting to use it as an all mountain ski it will perform better when longer.
However, If you ride rails, and only rails, go shorter.

yeah I was thinking the 184 would be a great size but I was basing it off the fact I like my kung fujas which are 179 but really like 184 compared to everyone else. But the fujas are rockered so that changes it up
