Post your height, size of ski, and category of ski (park, all-mountain, powder, etc.)

So whenever people ask what ski size to get, different people always offer their personal opinions. Instead of having it so subjective, if we can get enough people to post in this thread we could get an actual model of ski sizes.

I'll start.

6'2" 179 (all-mountain) 189 (powder)
