^Everyone keeps saying 180+ skis are 'too long' in these threads. I don't get why, I think 180 is pretty short... But if he was thinking 170, I doubt he'd move up to 186.

why does everyone wanna go so short anyway? First off, twins compaired to regular skis have short running surfaces to begin with, so figure your already down 4 cm's. Bigger is better, I'm a big guy 6'2' and 175 pounds, I ussally go with the longest size for the ski, (182 tm, 179 fugative for instance) and would go longer if I could. Next year Ill prolly be on 188 Scratch bc's and 180 Scratch fs's. Suck it up kids and buy a big ski.

I'm really dissipointed that they stopped making the ostness. 193 twin, doesnt get much better.
