Really looking to snag a pair of these babies pretty soon here, but I'm pretty split on what size to get. They come in 182 and 187. I've got some OG 189 Hellbents, and theyre just too beastly so I was thinking of getting the 182s, but Im worried those will be too short? I guess I'm just looking for some input on the kryptos really

BTW I'm 5'9" 150ish and I'm the best skier on the mountain.

Go with the 187

I don't think they'll be as heavy as the Hellbents have been, and 180 (says on their website), might feel much too short when it comes to bombing around.

this and they will ski shorter with the rocker as well. 187 seems like the ideal size for you in my opinion.

The hellbents measure an actual 194 when you compare them with the way other companies measure a ski. The Krypto measures 187 and 180. you will be happy either way. The ski is the best on the market when looking for a dual worlds, rockered buttery fat ski that can hold an edge for in bounds tracked out skiing and they hold together in high speed chop.
