Salomon Rocker2 108 question

So I am going to be getting a pair of Rocker2 108s. I won't be able to demo them so trying to figure out what size to get.

I'm 6'2"/188cm, 190 lbs, and would be using this as an all mountain ski. Would do some slack country, some BC booters and 15-20ft drops.

Debating the 180cm or the 192cm sizes.

Any suggestions? I normally have always skied the 185cm range but not sure if I would lose some playfulness by getting the 190

I have the 190 108's and 184 122's and noticed that you lose a bit of the playfulness with the longer size, however the longer ski is way more stable and is a much better option for charging

At your size I think you'd be crazy not to go with the 192. Depends on your preferences of course but given the nature of the ski I reckon you have way more to gain than to lose with the bigger size.

depends on the kind of skiing you prefer. 180 will be more playful, 192 will be more stable and charge better. On the whole, 192 is probably the better choice unless you like you skis really short

180 will feel like snow blades, it's really not even a question, get the 192 for sure. It skis super short!!!

The skis have around 50cm of rocker at the tip. I will check later today.

Thanks to all - that's excatly what I was hoping for. 192 is what I was leaning towards esp with all that rocker, but wanted to get some thoughts from others.

Appreciate the help!
