I'm thinking of getting a pair of new life's but I'm a little unsure of the size. I'm thinking 184. I'm 5'7'' about 165 an aggressive skier. These would be mainly used for skiing powder dropping cliffs and skiing trees. Would these do the trick or should i be looking at a longer ski.

I'm about the same size as you and I got the 184s. Perfect for what I like to do but go with the 184s if you like to charge more.

i would go 194 if i were you.

i've never skied the 184s but I rode the 194s for a bunch of runs and they felt great, almost a little short. they have a really big rocker and are symmetrical and mounted center so they ski really short.

i'm 5'7" 155lbs by the way. but i'm also used to skiing on 191 on3p caylors and 190 moment rubys
