If you've been skiing for 15 years you should already know how long your skis need to be....

No kidding... but if you’re 6’7 it would be about the biggest thing you can find

they should be 200-210, you'd have to get them special made. Biggest you'd be able to find is probably a 190. Shout out to 6 foot 7 tho.

Yeah but I want to switch over to Faction and they only go to 188 so that's why.

Hates this sort of questions. There's like literally hundreds of size guides all over the internet... takes like 2 seconds to type it into Google

It really depends on personal preference as well... I’m 6’1 and in my quiver have skis from 178-195

ignore a lot of these posts. it depends on your skill and preferences and what you like to ski, but the starting point is your height. that doesnt mean you have to find one of the few current skis that are made in a 200+ size. just pick one that's up there and has some backbone to it! simple as that
