I am 5'11", 140lbs, and looking into throwing down on a pair of volkl Ones at the 176cm length but kinda hesitant because I have heard that full rockered skis feel/act shorter due to the shape. Has anyone skied these and have any input on how they feel? Or since i am lighter than most at my height would the difference not be that noticeable?

Skiing in the Washington Cascades primarily Baker so snow is abundant

Don't be afraid to go longer. You're tall enough to handle 186s no problem if you're an expert.

What if the only option for a good deal + bindings is 176?
