Are my On3p Jeronimos too big/saga question

I'm kind of a noob at skiing (I was pretty good until I switched to snowboarding a few years ago for some stupid fucking reason). I skied a couple of times last year and I'm sure that at the very least I'll be able to hold my own after a few days getting my ski legs back. However, I'm not sure if my new skis are too big. I got this years 186 Jeronimos, I've heard great things from many people. I'm almost 6'4 and the skis come up about 1 to 1.5 inches above my eyes. I got these skis for all mountain, but a good amount of my time will be spent in the park with my friends. If you need pictures I can gladly supply them, they might be a little distorted because the only camera I have is a gopro.

On a semi related note, I was wondering if anyone above six feet has a picture of last years anomie pants on in large? I bought xl last year and they're quite baggy. I like to sag but they just look ridiculous because they're so big.

Your skis should be fine for you, there's a ton of rocker on them so they'll ski much shorter than they actually are, you'll get used to them very quickly. Congrats on getting some of the best skis on the market by the way.

As far as the Saga question, I'm short, so I can't quite help you there.

def post some pictures! i ordered 181 and im 5'11, im sure those will be fine for you at 6'4! I was 5'10 ish last year and jumped on a pair of 181 alpha ones (which have rocker similar to the jmos) and they felt perfect length, like he said above^ the rocker makes them ride really short, although the extra length will take a bit to get used to on rails,

You must have a very awkwardly shaped head for you to be 6'4

I'm barely 6' and I ride ON3P Jeffrey 186s(same amount of rocker) I don't know why you would think they would be too big...

Those are the right size for you. Don't worry about it

correct size skis and correct size outerwear. i'm 6'1" and have the anomie pants in large and they fit very well, but if i were any taller i'd go XL for length. it's a baggy fit, going smaller isn't going to make them much slimmer.

I'm 6 foot and wear XL saga pants. I had larges, but had to sell them, because once my boots and skis were on they fit so much shorter, so I would go with XL.

Like I said, buying skis is a pretty new thing for me. I just needed a little guidance.

My bad sorry for being a douche... But did you get the Saga answer? Because I think the sizes are the same as last year and on their site they had pictures of people wearing their gear with theirlabeled. heighs

I'm pretty sure a lot of people like suspenders. Armada and Saga have them, but I've never had any so I wouldn't know. I might pick up a pair this year.
