I can get a pair of this years motherships for about $225 US, which is a sick deal. My only hang up is that I'm 5ft 11in and want a little bigger ski for powder. However i'm trying to convince myself that the 97mm waist makes up for the shorter length.. Suggestions??

182 is not too bad for your size. sure, you could go longer, but you dont necessarily need to.

I think those would be fine unless you are planning on straightlining chutes through crud...which I doubt you will.

for $225 definitly get themyou could go a little bigger but too pay a lot more money for about an extra 5-10cm isn't worth it. When you say this years do you mean 03/04 or 04/05 either way it'sa greta deal

04/05, yea, it is a pretty sweet deal, they are the blue motherships, thanks for the agreement. Thats what I wanted to hear. And if any of you guys are in the northwest/seattle area, message me about getting the hookup on good prices on line shit, I dunno if i can help anyone else out, but i'll try

the 192's are all sold out to shops and stuff allready, can only get the 182's cheap, don't want the pollards cause they are 11 mm smaller in teh waist, and only 4 cm longer
