We’re not all midgets you got like the best park ski ever and it’s too short for anyone over 6 feet

The longest size they make is a 180 this year, which is doable as a park ski for me but cruising the mountain I’d overpower the tips all over the place like I do with my 182 revision talismans already

we just need more 185+ twin tip skis across the board, with centre or close to centre mount the tips on a 180 really aren't long enough if you're a tall boi. I would buy 188 wets in a heartbeat

the edollo/dente is so popular that finding last years model in any size is pretty much impossible

I do have some used 188 Dente's I'm using for pow this year but the edges are too thin for me to want to ski them in the park more then a few runs here and there

186 is just a random number literally anything in the mid 80's range would be fine, capping an all mtn park ski at 180 is just wack imo and the arv 96 is noticeably stiffer for a thin skeleton boi like myself

^I also support longer vishnus as well

Why limit it to 186. I wish companies would make 185-195 park skis. Icelantic has the 191 nomad 95 which is tight but it skis like a 182 in any other brand.
