Im looking at both of these but I have no idea what I want. Im about 205 lbs, and I love charging, but I also love the pillows in the trees. But most of the time, im in the open bowls dropping like 15-20 foot drops. So any advice?

im about 5 foot 10. I usually ski like upper 180 skis so I think the 191's wouldent be a problem.

184 new lifes were perfect for me, but I'm 6'2" 178lbs.

I would say 194s for your weight. Especially if you want to charge.

Im 6'2, 180 and ride the 191 Live Life, and I've also tried the 184 New Life's. The New Life is a jib ski, I wouldnt recommend unless you'll be doing faggy little pow jibs and taps all the time. get the Live Life, way more suited for charging. Live Life is a directional ski and has camber along with the rocker, making it ideal for (exactly what you want it for) charging along and hitting pillows and stuff. I don't want it to come across like the Live Life is a stiff charging ski and love to go straight, not at all. It honestly the most usable pow ski I've ever used, they excel at any kind of off piste snow. Don't get a stupid symmetrical "toy" ski, get something that is suited to how you ski.
