Yo, I'm looking at buying the Faction Candide 3.0s but am unsure of the size I should get. The only available option is 192cm from where I'm looking. I'm about 185cm and 83kg (187lbs) and am a pretty hard charging skier. I'd like them to be my "do it all" ski. Any thoughts??

Size shouldn't be a huge issue, thats about 2 inches taller than your head, and at your weight you'll want that length. Im 5'10 like 135-140 and ride a 185 bentchetler which is like 3-4 inches taller than me with not a lot of issue

You should be fine, I road the the 186 and I'm 173cm tall and didn't feel like it was too much ski at all. It's got a bit of rocker and it's very light (for an all mountain ski) so I think you'd have a lot of fun on the 192

You'll be fine. They are a pretty light ski and are pretty soft. I wouldn't worry about it. If I were to buy a 3.0 I would go with the 192 as well
