I'm in a real pickle. not really - I just need some help deciding a ski length for the Armada TST.

I am an inch under 6ft 2 and i weigh around 165-170pounds. I cannot decide between the 192 or the 185. I am looking to use the ski outside of the park and dont really plan to butter or anything really.

Would love some help. Thanks!

I would really, really, really suggest the 192.

I'm shorter than you and went with the 183 and have come to regret it. The tip rocker makes them ski so short. Plus, they're super lightweight so even the 192 is easily maneuverable.

My last recommendation would be to mount them at the -7 suggested point, not -5. They changed the suggested point to -7 even though some skis had -5 printed on their topsheet. I went -5 and, again, regret that. The tip rocker is a bit excessive in my opinion, but you can get around it by buying a longer ski and mounting farther back.

Awesome - I have been leaning toward the 192, but just wanted to make sure. Yeah, I will always stick to the REC mounting point. Thanks!

I would definately go for the 192, I'm 5'10" and ride a 191 everyday
