Found a solid deal on a pair of al dentes, kinda sick of only riding my JJ's as my daily ski, want something I can actually cruise the park in again. Only thing is their a 188. I'm 5 11' and around 195. Thoughts on sizing? my current park skis are 176 halo 2's and they're way to short.

Ideally a 182ish would be perfect, but if you think you can handle it you should be good to go, your weight should help a bit, and they are a soft forgiving ski.

I'd say go with it. I'm 6'1" and 185 and I have the 188s and they're a good fit. You'll be able to handle it.

thanks fellas, I feel like my 185jj's are fantastic, and I feel like my 176 alphas are perfect, just a bit short, so maybe the 188 al dente would be good, just don't wanna screw myself by goin to long, they will be for park mainly.

If you weight that much they should be great.

However I think you need to get a bigger pow ski and ditch the alphas;) I'm 5'8 140 pounds and I would ride 176
