I'm 6'2 190, 3+ skier, I am looking for a pair of skis just for out west, I am seriously looking at the blizzard gunsmoke and onep Jeffrey 114. Given that I am wondering what length to go with, I was originally planning on getting a ski 190cm+ but the biggest size for the Jeffrey 114 is 186, is that a good size for me or should I go longer. Also I am looking for any other ski suggestions just for an out west ski, one I can ski anything out there with, I won't be skiing park out there, but I will be between the trees, doing moguls, and the steeps. Thanks for your help!

Again, depends on preferences, but I'm 5'9" and for my wide rocker pow ski I ski 186's. for my "park" ski I'm on 179's.

Got a buddy who's 6'2 and skinny, won't ski anything shorter than 189 seriously.
Got a buddy who's 6'0 and fat, skis shorter skis than me.

If you were thinking long, I'd go long

I don't know what that particular Blizzard is like, but on the Brahma and Bonafide, I ended up liking the 173's more than the 180's. Which surprised me. So preferences, then ski.
Always good if you have the opportunity to Demo
