How stable are they on jumps? Would they wash out easily? The biggest jumps that I'll do are 35ish. Also, how are they on rails? Also, I am 5'10'' so should I get 181s?

should be fine on 35 foot jumps, i've hit around the same size, maybe a tad bigger without any problems with 'em. really good on rails, easy to manoever yet stable. and lots of fun. i'm about the same height and got the 181s, so if you can find them in that size get them. remember that the rocker makes the running length shorter than a ski nof the same length.
in the end, i would definitely recommend them to someone else

they are not complete noodles they are actually around a medium flex and they do okay on jumps the rocker does make them feel kinda slippery though because there is less edge connection with the snow so they tend to get a bit crazy at high speeds but they should be fine on 35 footers. as for rails these skis kill it super hard they are so fun to butter and press on and have a very low swing weight to get switch ups around really easily

I'm 5' 9" and I got the 181s, they are great.  I've hit up to about 50 footers on them and they've been great.  Around 50 is when it starts getting a little scarier, the take off more than the landing to me, because of speeds they can get a little wild.  But they are an awesome ski, check out my review on them if you'd like.

I really don't want a squirly ski and I wanted to get more into jumps this coming year. Should I still consider them?

they are not to squirly if you can control them well they are an amazingly fun ski and will do good on jumps but if you are looking for a very good jump ski i would look around a bit more
