I am going to buy the new life as my new pow ski for this year but i am really struggling with what size to get im between the 184 and 194. I am 6'2 210 lbs and i currently have the kung fujas 191 but they feel too long and i want something i can maneuver easier and have a lot of fun on. anyone with the new lifes please let me know what you think would be better.

i would high recommend the 194. i have had 2 pairs of new lifes over the years and they are exactly what you want, extremely easy to manuever. with that being said they will ski shorter than you think because only about half of the ski is even in contact with the snow since the tip and tail are so rockered. im 6'5" , 175 pounds and i wish they were longer. you weigh more than me which is also a factor. if you want some barely used ones i am letting mine go so i can try out something new this season. let me know
