Looking in getting a pair but not sure if the size is right. Or even if the ski is right. Im 200 lbs, and ski pretty much everything from 15 foot drops, to straightlining, to slow tree pillows, is this the right ski for me? or would i go one size up

They are a good ski, very light and stiff.

Height would help for size, the 190s are pretty damn big though so you would prolly have to be like 6'4" or so and they wouldn't be too awesome in the trees. Czars are a super sick ski though, you'll love whatever size you get

If ur gonna give advice on ski size u should probably have some sort of rudamentary fucking idea of what is going on. It has little if anything at all to do with height, and has everything to do with weight, skier ability, and type of terrain being skied. If u want max float and don't plan on skiing any tight trees, get the 190 for sure. It can be a little unwieldy in the trees, but if they r decently spaced the czar is perfect in the 190 length. I also weigh about 200lbs, and skied the czar for a season in the 182, great ski, but on really deep days I did kinda want a little more length for float. My deep pow sticks now r the rockers, and I handle the trees on those great as long as they have a decent pitch to them
