Replying to Ski recommendation for extremely tall skier
I'm an upper intermediate/advanced level skier (by no means an expert however) and skiing currently on Rossignol Experience 84 @ 186cm.
I'm 6'9"/205cm tall and weigh 210 lbs/95kg. "They" say you should get a ski the same as your height but there's just not a whole lot out there over 193cm. I saw the Faction Candide 3.0 @ 204cm and thought maybe that would be a good choice. I might do a season in Japan next year so would be looking for something on powder and I like to get into the easy trees although don't do full on back country. I also had my eye on the Armada JJ 2.0 Zero 195cm. I love powder and I'm okay to have a 2 ski quiver to handle both powder and hard pack days.
Looking for some advice from other tall skiers out there. (or from those who know tall skiers)
